Il y a déjà été en 2006, mais le mariage d'un ami d'enfance avec une amie locale est une bonne occasion d'y retourner. Goa a hâte de revoir à ses yeux les plus beaux fonds marins qu'il a connu dans sa vie. Les gens sont tellement sympas et les paysages si exceptionnels, sans parler du rhum!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;After few months, Goa will do a short trip to Maurtitus Island. He visited it in 2006 but his youth friend will marry with a local girl. So it's a unique opportunity not to miss. There are the best snorkel trips, amazing landscape and really friendly people and great rhum to try again!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-4016118992077138425?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/4016118992077138425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=4016118992077138425' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4016118992077138425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4016118992077138425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/04/on-road-again.html' title='On the road again!'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/Se3y9KYdqWI/AAAAAAAAI1M/Mr1Ge4V6keU/s72-c/File_027.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-8831858311648886964</id><published>2009-03-09T03:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-09T03:39:54.618-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Quelques nouvelles</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SbTxz14UMrI/AAAAAAAAIys/rqP79vLzgv4/s1600-h/IMG_5904.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SbTxz14UMrI/AAAAAAAAIys/rqP79vLzgv4/s200/IMG_5904.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311135733515563698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SbTxzEihF5I/AAAAAAAAIyk/Ls38DfoqHbk/s1600-h/IMG_8596.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SbTxzEihF5I/AAAAAAAAIyk/Ls38DfoqHbk/s200/IMG_8596.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311135720270796690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Goa est bien rentré à Paris puis à Bordeaux, il a été pas mal occupé, notamment à classer ses photos et réaliser ce qu'il a vu.

Ce zoo est exceptionnel, les animaux sont en semi-liberte et on se promene au milieu de singes et autres animaux etranges. Ensuite nous avons fait un tour du centre ville autour du MerLion, symbole de la ville. Le centre est compose de buildings tres modernes, sans grand cachet mais c'est etonnant de voir comment les locaux ont transforme le paysage (par exemple en transformant un estuaire en rivere d'eau douce). Il y fait tres chaud et humide. Au retour chez le frere de Bruno, nous avons apprecie la piscine, le sauna. Il faut desormais helas partir vers l'aeroport pour retourner en Europe.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Goa va donner quelques nouvelles de son retour et transferera ensuite le blog vers un site elabore.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt; Ceci dit, Goa a pris gout au voyage et a realise a quel point le monde est riche et fascinant, il va des que possible entamer un (voire) plusieurs autres voyages ambitieux. En tout cas l'Asie est un monde totalement different du notre, de culture collective et polytheiste, fascinant avec parfois aussi des cotes sombres (gestion catastrophique de l'environement, corruption...) mais dont on a tellement a apprendre. Ce type de voyage a transforme la perception de Goa sur le monde et son propre pays.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi, Goa had a great last day in Singapore. He visited the zoo located in the national park in the center of the island. This zoo is really amazing because animals are half-free and walk around you, like monkeys and birds. Then we walked in the town center, around the Merlion, that is the symbol of Singapore. The center is made of design huge buildings really modern but miss autheticity. That mad how the human could change the environment, for example converting an estuarian to a sweet water river Wheather is really hot and wet. Back to Bruno' s brother flat, we enjoyed a cool swim, a sauna but it's unfortunately time to say goodbye to Asia and head the airport to gain Europe. Goa will send news once back and will transfer the blog top a better site. It's not the last plan of ambitious trip that Goa had, because the world is so wide and fascinating that like an addiction, Goa will travel again for sure. Asia is really a fscinating world with a polytheist and collective culture, so different of us, there is good and some bad aspects (dramatic environemental issues, corruption,...) and there is so much to leran while travelling. This travel changed the perception of Goa about his life and his home country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-2693708936970245598?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/2693708936970245598/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=2693708936970245598' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/2693708936970245598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/2693708936970245598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/derniere-journee-singapour-last-day-in.html' title='Derniere journee a Singapour/ Last day in Singapore'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYVwSsXUEyI/AAAAAAAAIvA/rMfzcwCD7_4/s72-c/IMG_0840.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-5180801417068158821</id><published>2009-01-29T13:09:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-29T13:25:42.032-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Singapour, derniere etape/ Singapore, the last step</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIequr4H6I/AAAAAAAAIuQ/U3I1DN7bRks/s1600-h/IMG_0729.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296829831176527778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIequr4H6I/AAAAAAAAIuQ/U3I1DN7bRks/s200/IMG_0729.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIeqExlfuI/AAAAAAAAIuI/_VjEijhe8lU/s1600-h/IMG_0728.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296829819926183650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIeqExlfuI/AAAAAAAAIuI/_VjEijhe8lU/s200/IMG_0728.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIep1WeKmI/AAAAAAAAIuA/FAWsBXP3GLU/s1600-h/IMG_0731.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296829815785925218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIep1WeKmI/AAAAAAAAIuA/FAWsBXP3GLU/s200/IMG_0731.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIepgUJMGI/AAAAAAAAIt4/-4x2nUTVZFU/s1600-h/IMG_0723.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296829810139017314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIepgUJMGI/AAAAAAAAIt4/-4x2nUTVZFU/s200/IMG_0723.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Goa a continue la visite de Penang en Malaisie par la visite d ela colline de 800m, mais en raison d'une foule immense au Nouvel An chinois, nous avons du changer de programme et nous rabattre sur les jardins botaniques. Ensuite nous avons pris un vol vers Singapour (qui signifie la "ville du lion"). Goa a adore le court sejour en Malaisie et reviendra un jour pur mieux connaitre leur cuture fascinante. Singapour est une ville tres moderne et developpee. Le regime y est tres strict et ne tolere aucun ecart, il n' y a aucun papier par terre par exemple. La vie y est donc tres (trop) securisee. L'architecture est assez reussie et la vie assez agreable meme si tout semble aseptise. Nous avons profite d'un reopas sur Clark Quay at apprecie un concert live dans un club assez marrant. C'est assez incroyable de voir l'impatct de l'homme sur son environnement, il y a meme des climatiseurs en plein air. La population y est aussi tres metissee et Goa a hate de decouvrir l'immense parc zoo au centre de l'ile pour sa derniere journee de voyage!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi, Goa ended the Penang visit trying to visit a 800m hill, but due to the Chineese New Year overcrowd, he changed the plan to the Botanical Gardens and then caught a night plane to Singapore ("The Lion City"). Malaysia short visit was great and for sure Goa want to meet again the really friendly locals and its rich culture. Singapore city is really modern and developped. Due to a strict regime there is no paper on the ground and bad behaviour here. So life there is (too much) secure. The architecture is nice and life is easy despite it seems to aseptized. We had a lot of fun on Clark Quay during a live concert in a club. But it's crazy to see the impact of the human on his environment, there are even air-con outdoor! The population is also a melting pot here and Goa looks forward to visit the huge park and zoo in the center of the island for his last day trip!

Le trajet etait comique avec de la musique indienne a fond. Le passage frontiere s'est fait sans soucis, la Malaisie est un pays nettement plus moderne et riche visiblement que la Thailande (il y a du petrole). Nous avons pris un pont de 13 km sur la mer pour gagner l'ile assez grande de Penang et Georgetown, une ville coloniale tres charmante. Cette ville UNESCO mele les architectures Chinoise, Anglaise, Portugaise, Hollandaise et Mailaisienne. La population est tres metissee (il y aussi beaucoup d'indiens). Ce qui est exceptionnel est la bonne entente et cohabitation des differentes ethnies et religions (on croise dans le meme rue, mosquees, eglises, temples,...). La population est adorable et tres curieuse aussi (on a ete pris en photo plusieurs fois). Nous avons explore le parc naturel de Taman Negara qui nous a valu une baignade dans une plage entouree de jungle et de singes. Le voyage en vaut vraiment la peine. Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hello, our bus was late of 4 hours due to an wrong pick up address in Thailand. The road was quite funny with indian music in the car. After an easy border crossing, Malaysia seems to be much more modren and richer than its neighboors (there is oil there :). We crossed a 13 kms bridge to gain Penang Island and its capital Georgetown. The mix bteween China, Portugal, Ducth and Malay influences gave a nice architecture there. Population is also a real melting-pot with also some Indians. The promxity in peace of various culture and religions is really nice to see. There is for example mosque, churches and temples in the same street. Locals are really relax, friendly and curious (we were photgraphied several times). We explored the Taman Negara Park and could enjoy a swim in the sea between some monkees and facng the jungle. The trip in Malaysia is really a must do. Goa&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-7391197392779535313?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/7391197392779535313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=7391197392779535313' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7391197392779535313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7391197392779535313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/malaise-pneang-et-georgetown.html' title='Malaise Penang et Georgetown'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIayftVSYI/AAAAAAAAItw/cFvFKd7-TH0/s72-c/IMG_0642.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-8651777295007442345</id><published>2009-01-26T06:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-29T12:58:11.192-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Krabi et Phan Ngha (James Bond Island)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXpRBSPYI/AAAAAAAAItA/4QT6guQbpzk/s1600-h/IMG_0457.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296822109451992450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXpRBSPYI/AAAAAAAAItA/4QT6guQbpzk/s200/IMG_0457.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXX0ceUbI/AAAAAAAAIs4/SEkrnTzfSUE/s1600-h/IMG_0433.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296821809723625906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXX0ceUbI/AAAAAAAAIs4/SEkrnTzfSUE/s200/IMG_0433.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXXv8MmdI/AAAAAAAAIsw/MJRgmYANgUs/s1600-h/IMG_0461.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296821808514505170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXXv8MmdI/AAAAAAAAIsw/MJRgmYANgUs/s200/IMG_0461.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXXVHThhI/AAAAAAAAIso/pUSurBvA9vg/s1600-h/IMG_0520.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296821801313338898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXXVHThhI/AAAAAAAAIso/pUSurBvA9vg/s200/IMG_0520.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIWEVPlP4I/AAAAAAAAIsY/4KrSLGAJL4c/s1600-h/IMG_0437.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296820375418912642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIWEVPlP4I/AAAAAAAAIsY/4KrSLGAJL4c/s200/IMG_0437.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;La derniere journee a Ko Phi Phi a ete assez calme et reposante, Goa et Bruno ont ensuite regagne Krabi et visite les plages avoisinantes et magnifiques de Hat Ton Sai, Hat Rai Lee et Phra Nang (reputee pour etre la plus belle plage du monde). Il s'agit de baies entourees de montagnes calcaires et de grottes (un peu comme la baie de Ha Long). Aujourd'hui nous avons pris un tour pour explorer Phan Ngha et Ko Tapu ("James Bond Island" celebre dans le film de 1974 "l'homme au pistolet d'or") et des villages flottants avoisinants. Nous allons quitter la Thailande demain&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;pour Pulau Penang, une grande ile sur la cote ouest de la Malaisie.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; La Thailande est vraiment un pays aux paysages de reve, les locaux ont un sens de l'accueil et du service exceptionnels malgre une certaine tendance a arnaquer ou surfacturer dans les endroits les plus touristiques. La diversite culturelle et la facilite de voyager sur place en font une etape agreable et incontournable de tout voyage en Asie.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi, our lats day in Ko Phi Phi was quite quiet and restful. Goa and Bruno then came back to Krabi to visit its surroundings beaches of Hat Ton Sai, Hat Rai lee and Phra Nang that are really amazing between limestone and karstic mountains like in the Ha Long Bay. The last one is known as one of the most scenic of the world! Today we also took a tour to explore Phan Nha and Ko Tapu island, also known as "James Bond Island" since the 1974 movie "The man with the golden gun". We also visited the surrounding floa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;ting villages. We'll quit thailand to gain Pulau Penang in the West coast of Malaysia. The landscape is really anazing in Thailand and locals are really nice and have a great sense of service despite some overcharging and scams in touristic areas. The wide cultural diversity and facility to travel make this a great and mandatory step in and Asian trip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-8651777295007442345?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/8651777295007442345/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=8651777295007442345' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8651777295007442345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8651777295007442345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/krabi-et-phan-ngha-james-bond-island.html' title='Krabi et Phan Ngha (James Bond Island)'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SYIXpRBSPYI/AAAAAAAAItA/4QT6guQbpzk/s72-c/IMG_0457.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-420165145531402455</id><published>2009-01-22T05:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-23T05:12:26.416-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ko Phi Phi, site magnifique/ Little Heaven</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXnBaHosE7I/AAAAAAAAIsA/Yd0orEoIOgo/s1600-h/IMG_0343.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Helas elle a beaucoup souffert du tsunami et les reconstructions de mini-ville dans la partie centrale des deux baies jumelles a la place des palmiers a un peu entache la beaute de ce lieu a la base magnique. Tout y est devenu tres touristique mais une fois sorti de ce village central, il y a des sites magnifiques dont Phi Phi Ley (une seconde ile sauvage et tres belle). Nous avons fait des plongees assez exceptionnelles et vu des requins, des tortues de mer. Ensuite nous avons fait le tour des iles voisines en bateau, Bamboo Island est magnifique et ses coraux en excellent etat, Monkey Beach et Maya Bay sont aussi sublimes. Nous allons y rester encore un peu pour se baigner dans des lagons transparents et visiter des iles avoisinantes sauvages. On va encore en rofiter un peu.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, Go gained Ko Phi Phi, a little tropical paradise. Unfortunately, the island was completely destroyed by the tsunami and the twin bays in the central part were there was a lot of coconut trees was replaced by a mini-ugly touristic town. But once outside the town, the scenery is really amazing and the sea parks offered us great scuba diving trips. The second wild park island Phi Phi Ley is really beautiful. We saw some sharks, see turtles. Then we visited by boat, Bamboo Island and its beautiful crystal waters nin a perfect conservation state, Monkey Beah and Maya Bay are also stunning. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;We'll stay here for few days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-420165145531402455?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/420165145531402455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=420165145531402455' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/420165145531402455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/420165145531402455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/ko-phi-phi-site-magnifique-little.html' title='Ko Phi Phi, site magnifique/ Little Heaven'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXnBaHosE7I/AAAAAAAAIsA/Yd0orEoIOgo/s72-c/IMG_0343.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-4582000112619848455</id><published>2009-01-20T07:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-20T07:34:11.150-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Krabi with (avec Bruno)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXuCGe2pPI/AAAAAAAAIrQ/Gp4CqUA7RPM/s1600-h/IMG_0163.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293398656911058162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXuCGe2pPI/AAAAAAAAIrQ/Gp4CqUA7RPM/s200/IMG_0163.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXsfchgOmI/AAAAAAAAIrI/N3QxkbZfvAQ/s1600-h/IMG_0158.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293396962020702818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXsfchgOmI/AAAAAAAAIrI/N3QxkbZfvAQ/s200/IMG_0158.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXq5Soq-mI/AAAAAAAAIrA/qsXPqbt3_8Q/s1600-h/IMG_0118.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293395207019756130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXq5Soq-mI/AAAAAAAAIrA/qsXPqbt3_8Q/s200/IMG_0118.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXqBjSiOOI/AAAAAAAAIq4/NPq0IJ93evM/s1600-h/IMG_0171.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293394249417636066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXqBjSiOOI/AAAAAAAAIq4/NPq0IJ93evM/s200/IMG_0171.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXpY9EQB6I/AAAAAAAAIqw/5CQrk2Fvx4M/s1600-h/IMG_0124.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293393551962408866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXXpY9EQB6I/AAAAAAAAIqw/5CQrk2Fvx4M/s200/IMG_0124.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Coucou,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Goa a passe une nuit difficile en raison du bruit dans la Guest House lie a des anglais ivres, il a donc change de logement. Ensuite, il a visite deux plages des environs de Krabi (dont Ao Nang) et a ete impressionne par la beaute des paysages, sans pretention, Goa a vu des endroits fabuleux comme l'ile Maurice et ca fait un certain temps qu'un site ne l'avait pas autant impressionne de par sa beaute. Goa est aussi ravi d'avoir retrouve Bruno, un ami d'enfance pour finir le sejour, demain nous partons a Koh Phi Phi.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi, After a difficult night due to some drunk English guys, Goa Changed guest house. Then he visited 2 beaches in Krabi and admit that despite he saw many great places like Mauritius Island, it has been a while since a place didn't impressed him so much for its beauty and serenity. Goa is also really happy to start the final stage of the travel with Bruno, a childhood friend.

Le soleil etant tres brulant, il fallait attendre les fins de journee pour sortir. Goa a quitte l'ile en bus local (un conseil, evitez de booker par les agnces qui vendent le tickt 4 fois le prix reel). Il a traverse l'ile du nord de Ko Lanta (sauvage avec des mangroves) par bac, puis pris un mini van qui se prenait pour Alain Prost pour gagner la ville de Krabi. Tres bonne surprise, la ville est tres agreable, avec guest jhouse et restauants en bord de riviere. Il y a aussi un parc tres chouette et un village de pecheurs sur pilotis. Goa a aussi apprecie sa premiere douche chaude en thailande depuis janvier, sans tomber dans le luxe, un peu de confort a prix abordable ne fait pas de mal!&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello, Goa enjoyed his last day in Ko Lanta to rest, met really nice people from Sweeden, Scotland and France. The sun was so hot that you have to wait the dusk to go out. Goa left then the island with a local bus (tip: it's 4 times more expensive if you book via your guest house). Goa crossed the Northern island of Ko Lanta (wild with mangrove) and took a ferry to the land, and then took a really fast drived minivan (like a F1) to gain Krabi town. It's a really nice town, not too huge, quiet with cool parks and friendly people, and many riverside guest houses. there are also some mini villages on pillars. Goa also enjoyed his first hot shower since he's back to Thailand in January. despite it's not luxury, some comfort for an affordable price is sometimes relly cool!&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-6877863462703227320?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/6877863462703227320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=6877863462703227320' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/6877863462703227320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/6877863462703227320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/fin-end-ko-lanta-et-krabi-town.html' title='Fin (end) Ko Lanta et Krabi town'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXR_9MKrvcI/AAAAAAAAIqo/5gDDM1VYGwM/s72-c/IMG_0101.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-4961740306245200392</id><published>2009-01-16T05:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-17T03:53:32.158-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ko Lanta Suite</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHD8svuIzI/AAAAAAAAIqI/zWosnq4UJyo/s1600-h/IMG_0022.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHD8svuIzI/AAAAAAAAIqI/zWosnq4UJyo/s200/IMG_0022.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292226484707926834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHDggGhqDI/AAAAAAAAIqA/srDL9ir5wLQ/s1600-h/IMG_0042.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHDggGhqDI/AAAAAAAAIqA/srDL9ir5wLQ/s200/IMG_0042.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292226000277579826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHCrxiCe3I/AAAAAAAAIp4/YesJ5rJBCW4/s1600-h/IMG_9680.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHCrxiCe3I/AAAAAAAAIp4/YesJ5rJBCW4/s200/IMG_9680.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292225094423313266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHCUevLWkI/AAAAAAAAIpw/lOycILUPIGw/s1600-h/IMG_0029.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHCUevLWkI/AAAAAAAAIpw/lOycILUPIGw/s200/IMG_0029.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292224694241155650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;br /&gt;Goa a traverse les plages au Nord Ouest de Ko lanta, sur plusieurs kms, l'ile est assez Jolie et il doit avouer que sa plage Relax Bay porte bien son nom. Goa a croise quelques suedois et a traverse le nord de l'ile a pied sur les plages (pres de 10 kms)! Il a voulu louer un scooter mais il ne demarrait pas (et laisse le passeport en caution ce n'est pas une bonne idee) donc il s'est rabattu sur un tuk tuk style side-car pour voir le sud de l'ile tres sauvage et habite par entre autres les Gypsies des mers, une communaute de pecheurs nomade vivant entre Thailande et Birmanie, Malaisie. Les gens ici snt adorables et on tout reconstruit malgre les degats dramatiques causes par le tsunami de 2004. Parfois certaines plages sont desertes, c'est assez etonnant et rappelle le film "seul au Monde". Dans quelques jours Goa rejoint un ami pour la suite du periple.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi,&lt;br /&gt;Goa explored the north West of KO Lanta that is really big. His beach named Relax Bay really deserves its nickname! It was also strang to be awoken by the pray call from the next mosque (99% of people here is muslim). Goa met some cool Sweedish, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;and crossed 10kms to the north of Ko Lanta by walk on the beaches! He tried to rent a motorbike but it was not starting and to let the passport as a deposit is not really cool so he changed to a tuk tuk ride (a sideca like tuk tuk) to discover the south. Some nomadic people named Sea Gypsies living between Burma, Thailand and Malaysia are here. Ko Lanta's inhabitants are really nice and rebuilt everything desite the disasters of the 2004 tsunami here. Some areas are really desert and remember the movie with Tom Hanks in a desert Island. In few days Goa'll meet a friend forthe next steps of the travel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-4961740306245200392?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/4961740306245200392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=4961740306245200392' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4961740306245200392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4961740306245200392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/ko-lanta-suite.html' title='Ko Lanta Suite'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXHD8svuIzI/AAAAAAAAIqI/zWosnq4UJyo/s72-c/IMG_0022.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-2286401142765220981</id><published>2009-01-15T02:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-16T04:55:57.806-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Croisiere vers /Boat to Ko Lanta via Ko Phi Phi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCDkWMg46I/AAAAAAAAIpY/860h33PFnkM/s1600-h/IMG_0022.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCDkWMg46I/AAAAAAAAIpY/860h33PFnkM/s200/IMG_0022.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291874222616929186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCCz6h4Q-I/AAAAAAAAIpQ/goFzVjJX8S8/s1600-h/IMG_0025.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCCz6h4Q-I/AAAAAAAAIpQ/goFzVjJX8S8/s200/IMG_0025.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291873390556627938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCCXHSuP7I/AAAAAAAAIpI/tQdUIDaNhis/s1600-h/IMG_9683.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCCXHSuP7I/AAAAAAAAIpI/tQdUIDaNhis/s200/IMG_9683.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291872895766511538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCB3PMqZBI/AAAAAAAAIpA/YYv_mHrpNko/s1600-h/IMG_9656.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCB3PMqZBI/AAAAAAAAIpA/YYv_mHrpNko/s200/IMG_9656.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291872348132762642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCBXRG3TbI/AAAAAAAAIo4/0GRVMQn8-oY/s1600-h/IMG_9660.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCBXRG3TbI/AAAAAAAAIo4/0GRVMQn8-oY/s200/IMG_9660.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291871798889500082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;br /&gt;Goa a voulu changer du bus et a gagne Ko Lanta en bateau. Il a transite dans le subime Ko Phi Phi celebre pour le film "la Plage": L'ile est tres belle: eau est turquoise, il y a des montagnes magnifiques, par contre le village au centre de deux baies adossees avait ete rase lors du Tsunami de 2004 et les reconstructions en dur ne sont pas exceptionnelles. Il y repassera plus tard avec un ami qui le rejoint d'ici peu. Notez qu'il y a en fait deux iles dont une seule est amenagee. Arrive a Ko Lanta il s'est dirige vers Independance Beach, plus au sud. Un Thai adorable l'a aide en moto a trouver un bungalow tres basique (pas de lavabo mais douche et WC) en bord de plage. Enrome coicidence il a croise sur la plage un ami de promo qui passe ses vacances ici aussi! l'ile est belle et sauvage, quel bonheur de se poser un peu ici!&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hello, Goa was fed up of buses and took a boat to Ko Lanta. He transited via Ko Phi Phi, famous for the movie "the Beach": This island is soo beautiful: deep blue crystal water, beautiful hills but the village between to twin bays suffered a lot from the Tsunami and the reconstructions are not so nice. He'll come back here later with a good friend. In Reality there are 2 islands and only one is inhabited. Then arrived in Ko Lanta, it was really cool because a thai helped him with a motorbike to find a nice bungalow. Comfort is really basic (no Dink but still shower and WC) and just in the shore. Funny coincidence, he met a university friend there that had some holidays there! The island is wild and beautiful, so nice after the crowd of Phuket!&lt;br /&gt;Goa  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-2286401142765220981?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/2286401142765220981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=2286401142765220981' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/2286401142765220981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/2286401142765220981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/croisiere-vers-boat-to-ko-lanta-via-ko.html' title='Croisiere vers /Boat to Ko Lanta via Ko Phi Phi'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCDkWMg46I/AAAAAAAAIpY/860h33PFnkM/s72-c/IMG_0022.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-5244275618969690445</id><published>2009-01-14T18:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-16T05:05:09.951-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Phuket Express</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCF5tCMmYI/AAAAAAAAIpo/4Xe45tw7JK4/s1600-h/IMG_9625.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCF5tCMmYI/AAAAAAAAIpo/4Xe45tw7JK4/s200/IMG_9625.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291876788548180354" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCEfOKoQTI/AAAAAAAAIpg/_8qufgpacpE/s1600-h/IMG_9623.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCEfOKoQTI/AAAAAAAAIpg/_8qufgpacpE/s200/IMG_9623.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291875234073821490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXB_d8mTRJI/AAAAAAAAIoY/VS7pQeS81Go/s1600-h/IMG_9622.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXB_d8mTRJI/AAAAAAAAIoY/VS7pQeS81Go/s200/IMG_9622.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291869714620040338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;br /&gt;Goa a transite hier via Phuket apres une belle route dans la jungle tropicale depuis Ranong. Cette ile est immense, l'arrivee par un pont au-dessus d'un lagon bleu turquoise etait sympa. Arrive a Phuket Town, Goa a pris un bus public (les taxis etant encore hors de prix et les distances enormes) assez sympa vers une plage (Ao Kata Yai), plus au sud ouest et moins saturee que Patong, la plus celebre baie. Mais le probleme est que tout est construit face a la mer (on ne voit donc pas grand chose depuis la route), il y a plein de commerces et restaurants occidentaux et aussi pas mal de bars a prostituees (moins qu' a Samui dans cette plage mais trop quand meme). Tout y est plus cher et pas Thai du tout. La cote Ouest avait ete tres touchee par le Tsunami de 2004 et les immeubles sur la plage ont disparu, mais hormis les panneaux "evacuation if Tsunami", il ne reste rien d'apparent ici. Goa a donc appercu la plage remplie de touristes (il a beaucoup tarde a trouver un logement) et va quitter l'ile pour Ko Lanta par bateau (via Ko Phi Phi), belle ballade en perspective.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi&lt;br /&gt;Goa did a short stop in Phuket after a scenic road across the jungle from Ranong. Phuket is really big and the arrival on a bridge over a blue lagoon is nice. From Phuket town Goa had a public bus that was quite fun (and again taxis are really abusive on the bill and distances are huge), he gained a beach (Ao Kata Yai) less saturated than the famous Patong. The problem is that many buildings hide the waterfront, it's full of western shops, restaurants and prostitute pubs despite there is less here than in Ko Samui. It's not really Thailand and too expensive also. The west coast was hardly hit by the 2004 Tsunami but they rebuilt eberything fastly and except the signs "evacuation if tsunami". there is no trace really visible here. Goa had a quick view on the overcrowded beach and had huge difficulties to find accomodation. So the next boat  trip to KoLanta via Ko Phi Phi should be really nice!&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-5244275618969690445?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/5244275618969690445/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=5244275618969690445' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/5244275618969690445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/5244275618969690445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/phuket-express.html' title='Phuket Express'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SXCF5tCMmYI/AAAAAAAAIpo/4Xe45tw7JK4/s72-c/IMG_9625.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-1297416511985843873</id><published>2009-01-13T05:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-13T06:31:34.944-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Etape surpise: la Birmanie (Myanmar)/ Surprise Step:  Burma  (Myanmar)i</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWylqIVn16I/AAAAAAAAIoI/vFxS8wzkL2g/s1600-h/IMG_9570.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWylqIVn16I/AAAAAAAAIoI/vFxS8wzkL2g/s200/IMG_9570.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290785805464754082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWylM7xdvwI/AAAAAAAAIoA/oyFgSUZGUYs/s1600-h/IMG_9592.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWylM7xdvwI/AAAAAAAAIoA/oyFgSUZGUYs/s200/IMG_9592.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290785303875665666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWykkRxyB3I/AAAAAAAAIn4/ZX_KTwdGVr0/s1600-h/IMG_9603.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWykkRxyB3I/AAAAAAAAIn4/ZX_KTwdGVr0/s200/IMG_9603.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290784605407938418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWykNI3jSTI/AAAAAAAAInw/Eae-TG5BnU4/s1600-h/IMG_9575.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWykNI3jSTI/AAAAAAAAInw/Eae-TG5BnU4/s200/IMG_9575.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290784207879227698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;br /&gt;Goa a quitte Ko Samui et longe une belle cote (ressemblant un peu a la Baie de Ha Long) vers Surat Thani, ville sans charme mais aux habitants tres sympas, peu parlent anglais car peu de touristes y transitent. Il a ensuite gagne la ville de Ranong traversant l'isthme de Kra (bras de terre separant la cote Pacifique de celle cote Ocean Indien avec la mer d'Andaman). Les paysages sont splendides et sauvages, comme devait l'etre l'ensemble du pays avant l'urbanisation massive autour de Bangkok. Son Visa gratuit etant reduit a 15 jours depuis son retour du Cambodge debut janvier (nouvelle loi due aux tensions en Novembre dernier...), Goa a pris une sorte de barque et traverse le bras de mer qui separe Ranong en Thailande de Kawthong en Birmanie (Myanmar). Il a ainsi obtenu un simple visa birman de quelques jours, mais uniquement limite a cette ville, pour ensuite revenir cote Thailandais et etendre son visa Thailandais de 15 jours. C'est assez absurde mais les frontieres existent toujours en Asie... La Birmanie est un tres beau pays meme si il n'a pu s'y eterniser car Goa y reviendra un de ces jours. Seulement la situation des locaux est difficile car la liberte n'existe pas la bas... La ballade en barque etait en tout cas tres belle, Goa a meme appercu des dauphins et les birmans sont adorables. A son retour Goa a profite des sources d'eau chaude de Ranong en Thailande. Comme quoi un voyage est toujours fait d'imprevus et cela fera un detour enrichissant.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi, Goa left Ko Samui following a beautiful shore (a kind of local Ha Long Bay) to head Surat Thani. It's a city with no major interest but so nice inhabitants, despite communication is not easy as most of them do not speak English. Then he crossed the Kra Isthmus that separates the Pacific Ocean from the Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea. The Rainforets landscape is so beautiful and gives an idea how looked the Bangkok surroundings before the massive urbanisation. We He came back from Cambodia, after some tensions in November, then land border-crossing visas were reduced to 15 days. So Goa took a king of mini boat on the small sea between Ranong in Thailand and Kawthong in Burma. He obtained a local Bumese visa (limited to the city) to come back then to Thailand and extend the free visa for 15 additional days. It seems to be stupid but the borders are still here in Asia... Burma is beautiful for the few that Goa saw, but its population has no freedom due to an opressive regime... The baot ride was really nice, Goa even saw some dolphins and the few Burmeese he met were really king. Goa plans to come back properly to visit the country in the future. Back to Ranong in Thailand, natural hot water springs were really cool for a rest. As you can see sometimes a travel can go further than your expectations! Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-1297416511985843873?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/1297416511985843873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=1297416511985843873' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1297416511985843873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1297416511985843873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/etape-surpise-la-birmanie-myanmar.html' title='Etape surpise: la Birmanie (Myanmar)/ Surprise Step:  Burma  (Myanmar)i'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWylqIVn16I/AAAAAAAAIoI/vFxS8wzkL2g/s72-c/IMG_9570.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-8946613313687189042</id><published>2009-01-13T05:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-13T06:23:10.625-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ko Samui, ile a deux visages (face off island)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyjuHKkW4I/AAAAAAAAIno/YPK59MrT13M/s1600-h/IMG_9486.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyjuHKkW4I/AAAAAAAAIno/YPK59MrT13M/s200/IMG_9486.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290783674846174082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyjFEhIoTI/AAAAAAAAIng/Z2zUHyVzcDM/s1600-h/IMG_9485.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyjFEhIoTI/AAAAAAAAIng/Z2zUHyVzcDM/s200/IMG_9485.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290782969760882994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyiVDhK5ZI/AAAAAAAAInY/Z1g0VQx9kIw/s1600-h/IMG_9501.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyiVDhK5ZI/AAAAAAAAInY/Z1g0VQx9kIw/s200/IMG_9501.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290782144858875282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyh3tafKBI/AAAAAAAAInQ/o2dgvDk9eqY/s1600-h/IMG_9478.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyh3tafKBI/AAAAAAAAInQ/o2dgvDk9eqY/s200/IMG_9478.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290781640709056530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Coucou,&lt;br /&gt;Goa a ensuite gagne Ko Samui, plus grande et la plus au sud de cet archipel. L'ile est visible depuis Ko Phan Nghan. Goa a pris un taxi avec des francais tres symps vers la plage de Lamai au sud Est de l'Ile car la celebre plage de Chawak est archi touristique et bondee. Apres une belle route, Goa a ete horrifie par le glauquissime et le cote malsain du toursime ici dans certains villages. Pour resumer il y a essentiellement des prostituees (et traverstis) dans des bars qui racolent en permanence, entourees de sexagenaires europeens et americains alcooliques au denier degre... le tout dans une saturation de commerces et restaurants occidentaux. Heureusement Goa a trouve un bunglaow super sympa en bord de plage et hors de la ville. Il a alors apprecie la beaute de cette ile qu'il a ensuite visite avec un tour. On y trouve des temples, des casacades, de la jungle, la cote ouest est d'ailleurs plus sauvage et le tourisme moins bas de gamme (mais il fautr payer le prix). Il recommande donc de fuir les villes de cette ile car le reste est assez joli, mais quel dommage d'avoir gagche ce paradis!&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, Goa then joined the biggets island of the archipleago, also to southernest. Ko Samui is visible from Ko Phan Nghan. Goa escaped the overcrowded famous Chawak beach to Lamai in the South East. After a nice road, the shock was rude when he saw thousands of wetern shops, restaurants and call girl bars. There is prostitution everywhere in the villages with lady boys and girls harassing you, it's awfull. And you see many old mens from Europe and US (most of them depply alcooholic) waiting for them... Fortunately Goa could find a beautiful hut directly on the beach, far from the cities and could see the beauty of the landscape. He also took a tour and saw rainforest, amazing temples, waterfalls... If you have a bigger budget, the west coast is much nicer andwilder but it's high range tourism. So the after taste is strange here, a beautiful heaven so wasted by the human stupidity... Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-8946613313687189042?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/8946613313687189042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=8946613313687189042' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8946613313687189042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8946613313687189042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/ko-samui-ile-deux-visages-face-off.html' title='Ko Samui, ile a deux visages (face off island)'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWyjuHKkW4I/AAAAAAAAIno/YPK59MrT13M/s72-c/IMG_9486.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-3510865278595510634</id><published>2009-01-09T00:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-13T06:34:31.391-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Full Moon Party step 2/ la suite...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWymV8S7QrI/AAAAAAAAIoQ/oSkzfemEYPA/s1600-h/IMG_9467.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWymV8S7QrI/AAAAAAAAIoQ/oSkzfemEYPA/s200/IMG_9467.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290786558146462386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWhqlWSYRsI/AAAAAAAAInI/5uhoZm0iCdg/s1600-h/IMG_9466.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWhqlWSYRsI/AAAAAAAAInI/5uhoZm0iCdg/s200/IMG_9466.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289594952217020098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWhp6ytQEQI/AAAAAAAAInA/GAZc967cQ7c/s1600-h/IMG_9433.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWhp6ytQEQI/AAAAAAAAInA/GAZc967cQ7c/s200/IMG_9433.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289594221111546114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWhpFQ3KhXI/AAAAAAAAIm4/zOCjoNpfbyo/s1600-h/IMG_9413.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWhpFQ3KhXI/AAAAAAAAIm4/zOCjoNpfbyo/s200/IMG_9413.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289593301493253490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Coucou,&lt;br /&gt;Goa a passe une premiere soiree de pre Full Moon party tres sympas avec des Fire Shows, des jongleurs et de la musique, entoure de gens sympas. Ensuite la musique est devenue techno. C'est impressionnant la puissance des enceintes, Goa a pu changer de logement plusieurs fois car le 1er etait pres de la fete et vibrait avec la musique! Le 2e tres chouette en bord de mer mais eloigne (et les taxis sont scandaleusement chers la nuit), donc la derniere nuit Goa a pris un bungalow pres de la fete mais pas trop quand meme :). L'ile est jolie mais le temps instable du coup Goa a peu visite pour l'instant. Goa a ensuite fait la vraie soiree, assez dense mais pas surpeuplee. Sur la plage il y avait de la Techno et de la Transe avec pleins de gens dansant dessus, ceci dit Goa a trouve des bars qui passaient de la musique plus sympa (rock,. reggae) et s'y est bien plus amuse. Il n'a pas traine mais a entendu le lendemain matin le musique continuer. Entre nous la presoiree etait bien plus sympa... Goa n'a pas pu visiter le nord de l'ile, taxis trop chers, route dangereuse en moto et meteo moyenne...&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi, Goa really enjoyed the 1st warm up for the Full Moon Party with Fire Shows and acrobats with nice people and a good music. Then the volume raised and the music became too Techno. It's impressive the power of the speakers there. Goa could change often accommodation because the1st one was too close and all the bungalow was moving with the music! The he took a cabin on the beach but bit far (and the taxi are abusively expensive here) so Goa moved again to a third place closer to the party but not below the speakers! The Island itself is nice but the weather unstable so he didn't visited so much yet. On the Beach there were many people dancing on Transe and techno rythms (very loud), but Goa had much more fun in some reaggea and rock pubs in the city. The wram up party was better than the real one&lt;br /&gt;Goa, Goa didn't last toolong but there were still music the day after. Unfortunately because of expensive taxis, difficult access and bad weather, Goa didn't see the north of the island.

Goa a aussi apprecie un verre sur une piscine en bord de mer avec des Suisses et des Allemands avant de se reposer. Il a gagne par bateau ce matin Ko Pha Ngan, une plus grande ile. Elle est tres celebre pour sa Full Moon party. Goa a reussi a degoter un bungalow pas cher au Paradise pour cette nuit, seulement c'est en plein centre de la fete donc il bougera surement quand des chambres seront libres.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hello,&lt;br /&gt;Goa's last day in Ko Tao was fun and he did a nice scuba diving in the middle of corals and colored fishes. Then he enjoyed a glass on a swimming pool just abive the sea level with Germans and Swiss people before getting a rest. He reached today Ko Phangan, a much bigger island to do the world fmous full moon party. Goa found a cheap bungalow on the beachside at Paradise Guest House. But he migh move because it is in the heart of the party once other rooms will be free.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-1995745871172038861?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/1995745871172038861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=1995745871172038861' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1995745871172038861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1995745871172038861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/full-moon-ko-phangan.html' title='Full Moon Ko Phangan'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWXEa8cVFmI/AAAAAAAAImw/b51Jz_vRXj0/s72-c/IMG_9401.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-5785340212919576443</id><published>2009-01-04T13:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-06T01:08:16.582-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ko Tao</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMfFx7-B8I/AAAAAAAAImQ/n3QUQhr7CF8/s1600-h/IMG_9316.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMfFx7-B8I/AAAAAAAAImQ/n3QUQhr7CF8/s200/IMG_9316.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288104571627767746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMeGMEUgrI/AAAAAAAAImI/3sD4wMrBBHY/s1600-h/IMG_9354.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMeGMEUgrI/AAAAAAAAImI/3sD4wMrBBHY/s200/IMG_9354.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288103479130489522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMdqZT5lDI/AAAAAAAAImA/iOU7xQEBWsc/s1600-h/IMG_9352.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMdqZT5lDI/AAAAAAAAImA/iOU7xQEBWsc/s200/IMG_9352.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288103001649157170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMc9iXAz6I/AAAAAAAAIl4/ze7gyF6f35M/s1600-h/IMG_9334.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMc9iXAz6I/AAAAAAAAIl4/ze7gyF6f35M/s200/IMG_9334.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288102230984019874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;br /&gt;Goa a fait un tour de force, il a reussi a gagner Ko Tao plus vite que prevu en evitant la nuit a Bangkok, via Chumphon sur la cote avec le bus de nuit. Le trajet vers Ko Tao est e plus bien plus rapide depuis cette ville. Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt; a juste traverse le quatrier chinois de Bangkok de nuit dans un bus surexite pour prendre un car en direct&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt; car les tours organises depuis Bangkok ne sont pas tres fiables. Apres un trajet dans un car confortable, il a pris un bateau rapide car l'ile est a 70 km des cotes. Ko Tao est bien plus petite que Ko Chang et assez jolie, l'eau est transparente, c'est bien pour se reposer au calme. Goa a trouve apres un certain temps un cabanon dans le sud de l'ile beaucoup plus sauvage car l'est de l'ile est difficilement accessible et l'ouest surpeuple entre restaurants, bars et commerces. Il est possible de louer des motos mais la ballade est faisable a pied, les distances sont courtes et les routes souvent defoncees ou avec du relief, le mieux etant sinon de se deplacer en bateau taxi (ou en stop sur des motos comme Goa). Par contre les prix sont eleves par rapport au reste de la Thailande et le tourisme deja (trop) developpe. Goa va faire un tour de plongee avec tuba pour demain car les clubs de plongee sont chers et il se garde les plongees pour la cote Ouest de Thailande et la Malaisie (plus cher mais exceptionnels).&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, Goa suceeded to gain one day to go to Ko Tao. H just made a quick transit via Bangkok (including a crazy bus rive in the China town area). Then he took directly a bus to Chumphon to gain Ko Tao Island, it's much shorter and cheaper to organize the trip on your own because of a massive scam if you book ticket via agencies in Bangkok. Ko Tao is really small in comparison with Ko Chang. The island is really quiet and nice, water is really clear also. After some difficulties, Goa found a bungalow on the wild south of the island because the east is difficult to access and the west overcrowded with shops, bars and restaurants. You can hire a motorbike but distances are small, roads bad and there is a lot of hills, so Goa did some moto hitching and walk. For some spots, it's better to move with boat taxi. Prices are quite high and toursim already (t&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;oo much) developed here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;. Goa will do only a snorkeling tour of the island because of expensive prices in the scuba diving clubs and an unstable weather, He prefers to keep the main divings in the world famous western coast of Thailand and Malaysia.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-5785340212919576443?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/5785340212919576443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=5785340212919576443' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/5785340212919576443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/5785340212919576443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2009/01/ko-tao.html' title='Ko Tao'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SWMfFx7-B8I/AAAAAAAAImQ/n3QUQhr7CF8/s72-c/IMG_9316.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-3896671919352082267</id><published>2009-01-03T02:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-04T13:38:28.805-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ko  Chang de retour en Thailande/ back to Thailand</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9Tz9srR1I/AAAAAAAAIlw/TE36LWwchkI/s1600-h/IMG_9286.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9Tz9srR1I/AAAAAAAAIlw/TE36LWwchkI/s200/IMG_9286.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287036639756633938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9Tzi8QSVI/AAAAAAAAIlo/KRtZM9zFR2w/s1600-h/IMG_9285.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9Tzi8QSVI/AAAAAAAAIlo/KRtZM9zFR2w/s200/IMG_9285.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287036632574216530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9Ty_vlc_I/AAAAAAAAIlg/XLCNMVpzg7M/s1600-h/IMG_9291.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9Ty_vlc_I/AAAAAAAAIlg/XLCNMVpzg7M/s200/IMG_9291.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287036623125836786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9TybwF9LI/AAAAAAAAIlY/dPXZSIgmI_c/s1600-h/IMG_9289.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9TybwF9LI/AAAAAAAAIlY/dPXZSIgmI_c/s200/IMG_9289.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287036613464290482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9TxZ6MUkI/AAAAAAAAIlQ/iA2H1FAH6XY/s1600-h/IMG_9282.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SV9TxZ6MUkI/AAAAAAAAIlQ/iA2H1FAH6XY/s200/IMG_9282.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287036595789910594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;br /&gt;Goa est reparti en Thailande sur une tres belle route au sud. C'est fou le contraste entre les deux pays, la Thailande est bien plus riche. Le Cambodge est un tres beau pays et ses habitants sont tres gentils, mais Goa a eprouve un certain malaise apres avoir realise certaines choses: il existe une corruption massive, Il y a un fosse enorme entre riches et pauvres, un individualisme grandissant et ils ravagent leurs forets. Ces ingredients ont connduit a la situation de  1975 et il est inquiet pour l'avenir de ce paradis perdu... On peut parler de "Syndrome Titanic" (N. Hulot). Les relations sont assez tendues entre la Thailande et le Cambodge, nous avons passe plusieurs points de controle et les visas par voie terrestre ont ete reduits a 15 jours, Goa va donc devoir passer en malaisie pour etendre son via ici. Il a gagne la grande ile tres montagneuse de Ko Chang. Arrive un peu tard il a mis un certain temps a trouver un Bungalow de bambou a Lonely Beach sur la cote Est. Cette ile est tres belle, helas le nord commence a etre envahi de logements pour touristes, mais le sud reste assez preserve. C'est assez comique car les managers de la guest house sont des travestis, phenomene assez courant ici. Goa a croise un groupe sympa: Novegiens, Canadien et Australienne avec qui il passe ses journees en bord de mer sous les palmiers! Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, Goa took a beautiful road in the south to go back to Thailand. He was shocked to realize the huge gap between the 2 countries. Thailand is much richer. Cambodia is a really beautiful country with really nice inhabitants. But after few days, he feels strange when he realizes that behind the facade, there is a huge corruption, individualism, a huge gap between rich and poor people and that they destroy fastly the remaining forest... All these elements provoked the 1975 situation and Goa is worry for the future of this lost heaven. It's like the "Titanic synmptom" described by the ecologist (Nicolas Hulot). Relations are not good between the 2 neighboors, and we had to pass many check points. they also reduced the land visas to 15 days so Goa will have to renew the Thai visa (free) with a stop in Malaysia. In Thailand Goa gained the big mountains of Ko Chang Island and serached a bamboo bungalow for a while because the arrival was late. He stays in Lonely Beach and it's quite funny because the Guest House managers are Lady boays, quite common here! This island is still beautiful despite some new resorts in the north. Goa enjoyed sunbath and swim with a cool group: Norway, Australia, Canada and could recover from the former travels!

Il y a plusieurs plages, dont la principale est prise d'assaut par les jeunes touristes, tres important, si vous y allez pour la fete logez sur place (a Serendripity Beach). Helas tous les bungalows etant pleins, Goa s'est rabattu a Victory Hill Station. Petite plage qui est calme (loin des vendeurs ambulants) et un peu sale mais jolie. La colline en elle meme fait sale. Les Guest house ici sont sympas mais avec peu de choix (nouvel an) Goa a pris une chambre. Il y a une grande communaute francaise, plus agee, les gens sont tres accueillants mais la plupart alcooliques et vivant avec une jeune locale... (pas tous heureusement) ... Goa a ete invite a un repas sympa pour le reveillon, par contre apres pour sortir, grande deception, tous les bars sont en fat remplis de vieux pervers et de prostituees. Goa a croise un groupe de Suedois pour minuit mais aurait aime plus de jeunes et pas cette ambiance malsaine... Le lendemain a ete mieux avec baignade et visite des plages et de la baie avec un guide francais tres sympa. Moralite allez-y avec des amis et seulement si vous avez trop de temps, car si il en avait eu le temps, Goa aurait cherche un endroit plus sympa... Peut etre que la ville a des endroits mieux, et probablement a une autre date c'est plus facile de se loger a la plage principale. Goa compte bien se rattraper sur les iles de Thailande pour la fete plus sympa, il va demain a Ko Chang.&lt;br /&gt;Goa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, the New Years eve in Sihanoukville was not really great for Goa. Arrived on December 31st, all the guest house were full in the main party area &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Serendripity Beach. And because the city is really wide and spread, you always have to take a motorbike for 1 to 2$ to move. But it was too dangereous by night (all drivers drunk, no helmet, Goa saw today some foreigners injured), so&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; Goa stayed in a less nice area: Victory Hill. The beach is quiet and nice, but the hill quite ugly and dirty. There is a big French community quite nice people except some of them are alcoolic and date young local women... Goa had despite a nice dinner and met some sweeding people to share a glass for midnight, but all the pubs and disco here were full of old perverse guys with young prostitutes. The day after was a bit better with a 4X4 ride with a French guide to visit the beaches and the bay. So remember that if you go there, bring friends and if you are short on time contrary to Goa, skip to the Thailand islands... Maybe there are better areas in the city, and the date gave Goa few options... Goa looks forward to repair this error in Thailand islands, strating from Ko Chang Tomorrow...

Ballade en chameau dans le desert indien, iles paradisiques en Australie, saut en parachute en Nouvelle Zelande, Treck en Elephant en Thailande, Croisiere sur le Mekong au Laos, Baie de Ha Long au Vietnam, cite de Angkor a moto au Cambodge. Et il reste encore un mois sympa pour se faire les iles en Thailande, Malaisie et Singapour. Il y a donc quelques photos sympa en perspective! Goa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy new year 2009!&lt;br /&gt;2008 was such a great year for Goa, both for the personnal experience and the original travels on the 5 continents. At the beginning Goa lived in Ireland and visited form here: Scotland, Mexico, Morocco. Then since September he already visited 7 countries in Asia. Goa had both great and sometimes more difficult moments. But What an adventure; Camel ride in Indian desert, tropical beaches in Australia, Skydive in New Zealand, Elephant treck in Thailand, Mekong Cruise in Laos, Ha long Bay in Vitenam and motobike in Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Goa still have 1 month to visit south Thailand Islands, Malaysia and Singapore, that means some nice shots in prespective!

Kratie est un ancien village colonial en bord de Mekong. Malhereusement l'urbanisme n'est pas le fort du pays et c'est triste de voir de belles demeures coloniales delabrees... Goa a ensuite fait 15 km a moto en traversant des villages perdus pour aller a Kampi, avec une Australienne et une Neo-Zelandaise pour obeserver les fameux Dauphins Irrawady d'eau douce sur une barque. Ils sont assez grands avec un museau plat comme les orques. Ensuite Goa est rentre en moto avec un sperbe coucher de soleil. Aujourd'hui Goa a voulu gagner Sihanouville, station Balneaire pour prepaper le nouvel an en bord de mer, mais il a du faire escale a Phnom Penh. Il en a profite pour se ballader sur les quais Sisvoath pour y voir des scenes etonnantes: les Cambodgiens font des choregraphies (ou de la gym?) dans la rue! Goa va  quand meme apprecier les plages pour son dernier mois apres 2 mois de randonnees et de villes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, Goa visited Kratie in the North of Cambodia. His bus was funny with European songs (Macarena, Mambo N"5, La Lambada) remixed in Cambodian! Kratie is a former colonial village unfortunatelypreservation and urbanism are not the strehngh here and it's sd to see old house so damaged by time and dirt... Then Goa crossed on a motorbike 15 kms of remote villages to gain Kampi with Australian and New Zealand girls and hired a boat to see the famous Irrawaddy Dolphins. They are fresh water mammals with a really short nose that look like more a small orca. We came back with a great sunset. Today Goa had to stop to Phnom Penh before accessing Sihanoukville and sea resort for the new years eve. He walked around the Sisvoath Quay and saw funny scenes: Cambodians dance (or maybe do fitness) in the middle of the street every evening! Goa really looks forward  to enjoy some islands after 2 months in the contryside and big cities!.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-3875096626051349980?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/3875096626051349980/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=3875096626051349980' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/3875096626051349980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/3875096626051349980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/kratie-et-retour-phnom-penh.html' title='Kratie et retour a Phnom Penh'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVobd-IGrVI/AAAAAAAAIjw/7I-Fvcrcv-Y/s72-c/IMG_9225.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-9172817638433659540</id><published>2008-12-28T04:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-30T05:13:50.079-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kompong Cham et Kratie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVoeWatXwXI/AAAAAAAAIkI/z60jEI5Fg3w/s1600-h/IMG_9185.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVoeWatXwXI/AAAAAAAAIkI/z60jEI5Fg3w/s200/IMG_9185.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285570483148276082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVodZI6O2hI/AAAAAAAAIkA/0X8sCkP-lZU/s1600-h/IMG_9182.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVodZI6O2hI/AAAAAAAAIkA/0X8sCkP-lZU/s200/IMG_9182.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285569430398360082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVoc4ELjqFI/AAAAAAAAIj4/PQJE7TqoJNo/s1600-h/IMG_9189.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVoc4ELjqFI/AAAAAAAAIj4/PQJE7TqoJNo/s200/IMG_9189.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285568862193166418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;br /&gt;Goa a quitte Battabang pour gagner Kompong Cham en bus. Une chose est a retenir en asie, le temps indicatif de trajet est toujours sous-estime de 2 a 4 heures car il y a topujours un imprevu. cette fois-ci c'etait un bac pour traverser une riviere qui nous a fait perdre deux heures. Ceci dit la route est tres belle avec des palmiers et le bus etait assez drole, avec essentiellement des locaux, certains aveient meme leur poulet vivant dans les bras :) Nous avons aussi eu droit a un film japonais de 1970 debile et drole et des clips cambodgiens avec le volume a fond, une veritable experience! Kompong Cham est une tres jolie ville coloniale un peu decatie en bord de Mekong mais etant arrives de nuit Goa en a peu vu helas.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, Goa left Battabang to Kompong Cham by bus. A good lesson is Asia is to estimate that the given time for buses is never respected, always expect 2 to 4 hours of delays, due to enforceable events. This time we were stuck to cross the river by ferry during 2 hours. The road is beautiful with palm trees and the local bus with Cambodians was really fun, some were even carrying a living chicken with them! We also enjoyed some comic 1970s Japanese movies and video clips with a really loud volume. All an experience. Kompong Cham is a really nice former colonial city on the Mekong riverside, but because we arrived by night Goa couldn't see much of it.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-9172817638433659540?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/9172817638433659540/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=9172817638433659540' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/9172817638433659540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/9172817638433659540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/kompong-cham-et-kratie.html' title='Kompong Cham et Kratie'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVoeWatXwXI/AAAAAAAAIkI/z60jEI5Fg3w/s72-c/IMG_9185.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-7694632235256110584</id><published>2008-12-27T04:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-27T05:59:49.862-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Siem reap et Battabang</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY0VtoElMI/AAAAAAAAIiw/ED0qCnxBRes/s1600-h/IMG_9122.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284468760395420866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY0VtoElMI/AAAAAAAAIiw/ED0qCnxBRes/s200/IMG_9122.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYzjrk9RJI/AAAAAAAAIio/h8UCyGMykXQ/s1600-h/IMG_9056.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284467900852028562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYzjrk9RJI/AAAAAAAAIio/h8UCyGMykXQ/s200/IMG_9056.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYy7-dnI5I/AAAAAAAAIig/0Z2LvdzGTPU/s1600-h/IMG_9015.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284467218726724498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYy7-dnI5I/AAAAAAAAIig/0Z2LvdzGTPU/s200/IMG_9015.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYvRGhkdyI/AAAAAAAAIiA/d-g96DsUEHs/s1600-h/IMG_8963.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284463183621551906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYvRGhkdyI/AAAAAAAAIiA/d-g96DsUEHs/s200/IMG_8963.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYuXy4SRAI/AAAAAAAAIh4/RiU9XdbIqzM/s1600-h/IMG_8947.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284462199095575554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYuXy4SRAI/AAAAAAAAIh4/RiU9XdbIqzM/s200/IMG_8947.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa a passe la derniere journee avec ses parents a visiter le centre ville de Siem Reap. Beaucoup de gens passent a cote et c'est pourtant une tres bonne surprise: belle architecture coloniale preservee, promenade en bord de riviere, plein de restaurants, marches et bars sympas. Apres s'etre reposes autour de la piscine de l'hotel, les parents de Goa sont repartis en avion. C'etait tres sympa de se revoir, meme si le rythme n'est pas toujours le meme nous avons bien rigole et vecu des anecdotes marrantes. Important: Goa a trouve une tres belle Guest House, certes sans piscine mais pour un prix derisoire et un standing top, il vous conseille donc d'eviter la zone hoteliere surevaluee. Le lendemain, il a pris un slow boat sur la riviere (puis le lac) Tonle Sap. La ballade a duree 10 heures (au lieu des 5 annoncees). Nous avons traverse des villages flottants tres pauvres et tres typiques. Les cambodgiens sont tres accueillants et c'etait une joie de voir les enfants chanter et nous saluer avec un grand sourire(il y a plus de 40% de la population qui a moins de 15 ans au Cambodge)! Dans un chenal etroit un bateau surcharge de bambous etait coince dans le passage, nous avons donc du attendre qu'ils dechargent leur cargaison dans la nature pour passer, edifiant! Seul gros probleme, la pollution qui est inquietante quand on voit les populations se laver et boire sur les rivages recouverts d'ordures aux abords des villes... Ensuite Goa est arrive a Battabang, deuxieme ville du pays, avec quelques batiments coloniaux, mais seule un journee suffit pour s'y promener car il n'y a pas de monument majeur a voir. Goa conseille donc cette croisiere uniquement si vous avez comme lui beaucoup de temps sur place (c'etait la fin de la saison humide, car en saison seche c'est encore plus lent:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi, Goa visited the city center of Siem Reap with his parents for their last day here. It's really nice with colonial renovated houses, nice pubs, restaurants and markets, and Goa really recommend not to skip this place. Then after a rest in the hotel swimming pool, Goa's parents took the plane. It was a nice travel together, despite sometimes the rythm differs, we had a lot of fun together! Just a tip, Goa found a really clean and cheap Guest house in the city center and recommend to avoid the hotels areas, really overated for the price they ask... The following day, Goa took a slow boat on the Tonle Sap (river and then lake) to go to the 2nd city of Cambodia, Battabang. It took 10 hours of boat (it was supposed to be 5 :) we crossed many floating and really poor but typical villages. Cambodians are really welcoming people, it was a hapiness to see the childs running, singing and smiling to us (40% of Cambodians are under 15 years old)! We also were stuck in a narrow river because of an overpacked boat ith bamboo trees. We had to wait they throw away the stock to have and exit, quite crazy! The main problem there is pollution when you see population drinking water and bathing in the middle of garbage in the cities areas... Then Goa arrived in Battabang, with some remains of the colonial architecture but one day is enough there, no major monuments to see. between us, this is worth if you have plenty of time like Goa, and take care during the dry season it can be longer! Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-7694632235256110584?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/7694632235256110584/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=7694632235256110584' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7694632235256110584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7694632235256110584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/siem-reap-et-battabang.html' title='Siem reap et Battabang'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY0VtoElMI/AAAAAAAAIiw/ED0qCnxBRes/s72-c/IMG_9122.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-204382680141849275</id><published>2008-12-25T07:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-27T06:10:22.180-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Joyeux Noel depuis Angkor Wat/ merry Christmas!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY3PyywDoI/AAAAAAAAIjI/1qd9HSLdoJ4/s1600-h/IMG_8794.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284471957238058626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY3PyywDoI/AAAAAAAAIjI/1qd9HSLdoJ4/s200/IMG_8794.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYtBzYVUoI/AAAAAAAAIhw/53BpGvHh5BA/s1600-h/IMG_8867.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284460721761243778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYtBzYVUoI/AAAAAAAAIhw/53BpGvHh5BA/s200/IMG_8867.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYsPC6Vi-I/AAAAAAAAIho/h-u5khVB1Hg/s1600-h/IMG_8828.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284459849757068258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYsPC6Vi-I/AAAAAAAAIho/h-u5khVB1Hg/s200/IMG_8828.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYrGcL2G_I/AAAAAAAAIhg/mWcMzK0SZRI/s1600-h/IMG_8894.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284458602410941426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYrGcL2G_I/AAAAAAAAIhg/mWcMzK0SZRI/s200/IMG_8894.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYqQpAVnOI/AAAAAAAAIhY/hFsGhel8lVo/s1600-h/IMG_8857.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284457678139399394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVYqQpAVnOI/AAAAAAAAIhY/hFsGhel8lVo/s200/IMG_8857.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Joyeux Noel!&lt;br /&gt;Goa a passe l'un de ses Noels les plus orginaux a Siem Reap. Il est arrive dans une ville tres aride au sable rouge (un peu comme en Australie). Apres une tentative d'escroquerie assez subtile du chauffeur de taxi, nous avons gagne un hotel assez confortable avec piscine. Le 1er jour nous avons pris un guide pour 3, chose fortement recommandable pour visiter correctement et comprendre les temples. Il y a plusieurs groupes de temples, le plus celebre etant Angkor Wat, un chef d'oeuvre surtout impressionnant pour son gigantisme, ses bas reliefs et la taille impressionante des douves environantes. Ensuite dans un decor de jungle, Ta Phrom est tres sympa avec les racines geantes des arbres qui le recouvrent. Le temple de Bayon est aussi celebre avec ses visages de Boudha. Nous avons pris une journee complete pour voir les principaux temples sous une chaleur intense. Le lendemain, nous avons pris un chauffeur seulement pour voir d 'autres temples tres beaux (dont Bantey Srey avec ses sculptures tres fines) et avons gagne le lac Tonle Sap (tellement immense qu'on se croirait sur la mer). La visited du village de Kampong Phluk est une veritable aventure. Il faut y aller en voiture sur une piste, ensuite Goa a ete fier de ses parents qui lónt suivi en moto dans les chemins de sable puis sur une barque en pleine mangrove en pleine foret innondee, paysage incroyable. Au bout du canal, nous avons gagne un village irreel et hors du temps (mode de vie ancestral et rural), constitue de cabanes sur des pilotis de 6 metres (en raison des crues du lac alimente par le Mekong). Par contre Goa deconseille le village de Chong Khneas car il y a desormais une digue hideuse... Au retour, petit bain de Noel dans la piscine de l'hotel puis repas tres sympa. ce Noel restera grave dans les memoires de Goa.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Hi! Merry Christmas! Goa did a really original Christmas in Siem Reap, a red sandy and dusty place (like in Australia). After a blackmail attempts from the taxi driver, we stayed in a really good hotel with swimming pool. Teh 1st day we hired a guide to visit the main temples of Angkor (it's really a plus to understand it and enjoy the visit), including the really beautiful and huge Angkor Wat. The carvings and pools around it a really enormous and a must see in your life. The perspective is much bigger than in photos! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;From the various groups of temples, the most famous are also Ta Phrom covered by huge trees in the Jungle, Bayon with its Buddha faces. The second days, we just hired a driver (the distance are really huge also) and we saw other temples including Bantey Srey with really good sculptures. Later we gained the Tonle Sap lake (as big as a little sea). The Kampong Phluk village visit is also a great journey: Goa is proud of his parents that came on sandy raods by motorbike and then a slow boat in the middle of mangrove and a flooded forest, an incredible scenery. Then the ride ended in a remote and floating village with house 6 meters high on pillars (due to the possible floodings. They live like many centuries ago and aren't used to meet tourists! Avoid maybe the Chong Khneas village wasted by a new ugly pier and a massive tourism... Back to the hotel, we enjoyed a swim in the hotel pool and had a great dinner.

Ensuite Goa a fait tester a ses parents le tuk tuk surcharge a 5 avec nos bagages , mais nous sommes arrives entiers a l'hotel... Goa est ravi avec les Cambodgiens qui sont adorables et discrets. Il admire ce peuple qui malgre des souffrances terribles (guerres, mines, genocide des Khmers Rouges en 1976...) restent courtois et souriants. La visite de S-21, une ancienne ecole reconvertie par Pol Pot en camps de torture et prison fait froid dans le dos. Pour resumer, en 1975, une fois Phnom Penh prise, les Khmers Rouges ont tout supprime et tout interdit: religion, culture, joie, libertes,... et expluse la population des villes vers les campagnes pour du travail force dans des cooperatives agricoles (les familles ont egalement ete separees). Tout opposant ou suspect etait immediatement tue sans proces. Cette folie meutriere a fini vers 1979, apres 2 millions de morts et de nombreux refugies quand les Vietnamiens ont fait la guerre suite a des attaques sur son territoire. Le pays commence enfin lentement a se relever de cette etape tragique...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Malgre cela, Phnom Penh est une ville magnifique en bord de Mekong et de son affluent (le Bassac). Le palais royal est un chef d'oeuvre du niveau de celui de Bangkok. Il reste aussi quelques belles demeures coloniales, et musees. La visite en vaut le detour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi, Phnom Penh is a really nice city, arrived by night we saw monkeys climing the walls, quite amazing for us! The Goa made discover a TukTuk ride to his parents, with 5 people and our luggage, we arrived alive in the hotel...The Cambodians are really sweet, quiet and polite, Goa is really happy. Despite a really tragic past, they keep smiling (despite war, the Khmer Rouge genocide in 1976 and mines). Goa visited S-21 a former school converted into a secret prison (and torure camp) by the psychopath Pol pot. To sum up, in 1975, Phnom Penh was caught by the Khmer Rouge and everything was stopped and forbidden: religion, culture, freedom, hapiness... and the population was explused from the cities to work in coorperatives in the country (families were also separated). All oponent or suspect was killed without trail or proof. 2 millons death and many refugees after, in 1979, they were expulsed by the Vietnameese after attacks in the border of Vietnam. The country slowly starts to rediscover life after this trauma and tragedy...&lt;br /&gt;Despite this, Phnom Penh is a really beautiful city, with the amazing king palace as nice as the one in Bangkok. There are also some colonial houses, nice museums, the visit is really a must do in Cambodia.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-7109708143343878360?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/7109708143343878360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=7109708143343878360' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7109708143343878360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7109708143343878360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/phnom-penh-perle-dindochine-et-musee.html' title='Phnom Penh, Perle d&apos;Indochine et musee d&apos;horreus du passe'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY4qjmermI/AAAAAAAAIjQ/yEVBTs94l3g/s72-c/IMG_8650.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-4279252616061172329</id><published>2008-12-22T04:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-27T06:06:25.028-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Delta du mekong et arrivee au Cambodge</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY2VHK_I3I/AAAAAAAAIjA/J0uFNKIV9u0/s1600-h/IMG_8556.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284470949096137586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY2VHK_I3I/AAAAAAAAIjA/J0uFNKIV9u0/s200/IMG_8556.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY12FCHdzI/AAAAAAAAIi4/7yeyAw3uH0Y/s1600-h/IMG_8574.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284470415946118962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY12FCHdzI/AAAAAAAAIi4/7yeyAw3uH0Y/s200/IMG_8574.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTfvTJey7I/AAAAAAAAIg4/e2FHHgR-AQg/s1600-h/IMG_8565.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284094266499320754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTfvTJey7I/AAAAAAAAIg4/e2FHHgR-AQg/s200/IMG_8565.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTe5K1PppI/AAAAAAAAIgw/bW124MLUk9E/s1600-h/IMG_8573.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284093336554022546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTe5K1PppI/AAAAAAAAIgw/bW124MLUk9E/s200/IMG_8573.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Coucou,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Nous avons reserve un tour pour a la fois visiter le Delta du Mekong et gagner le Cambodge. La ballade a commence en bus jusqu'a My Tho puis Ben Tre. Nous avons vu des marches flottants et de tres belles rizieres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Nous avons ensuite utilise un bateau pour visiter une fabrique de produits a base de Noix de Coco, dejeuner et faire un tour de velo avec des Argentins tres sympas. Goa a meme enroule un Python (de 10kgs) autour de ses epaules! Ensuite nous avons traverse Sa Dec (lieu des amours de Maguerite Duras vus dans "L'Amant", puis Vinh Lau et gagne Chau Doc par le bus. Nous avons atterri dans un hotel flottant tres original quoique bruyant pour la nuit. Au reveil, nous avons visite les tribus Cham (musulmans d'Asie) sur une Ile, une ferme marine de poissons chats puis gagne par "speed Boat" la frontiere du cambodge. Le passage dans la boue a encore ete une fois folklorique. Les visas faits en un peu plus d'une heure sur place. Ensuite, sans explication nous avons pris un "speed Boat" pas vraiment rapide et sommes arrives avec 3 heures de retard a Phnom Penh au Cambodge (ayant entre temps ete transferes dans un bus). Quelle aventure, deja 7 pays en 3 mois, les parents de Goa ont bien rigole aussi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Les Vietnamiens ont dans leur histoire ont ete sans cesse attaques et envahis (francais, Chinois, Mongols, Americains...) et se montrent souvent plus "guerriers" mais tres sympatiques (une fois les negociations et arnaques evitees:) Goa pense qu'ils meritent largement une visite notamment pour leur culture tres typique et riche, cela est aussi un excellent cours de patience et de diplomatie (goa etant assez impulsif :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt; Et leurs femmes sont nagnifiques et gracieuses en costume traditionnel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello, we booked a tour to combine the mekong Delta visit and the way to Cambodia. We crossed My tho, Be Tre visiting ricefields and floating markets. The we visited a coconut milk factory by Boat and had a cool lunch with nice Argentinans in the middle of a remote and green island. We also did some bicycle between banana fields on the road and Goa even took a Python on his shoulders. Then we came accross SaDek, famous for the movie "L'Amant" where a young French Girl fall in love with a chineese during Indochina (it's a true story that hap&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;penned to the writer Marguerite Duras). The we crossed Vinh Lau and slepted in a floatng hotel in Chau Doc, quite noisy but fun experience. We started the next morning &lt;/span&gt;by visiting a fishing farm and the mulsim Cham community and took a "speed Boat"to head the Cambodian Border. Again the border crossing was quite an experience, walking into the mud to change country. The visas were made in 1 hour and whithout reason we had a slowlier boat and then a bus ride that brought us 3 Hrs late in Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Goa's parents enjyed this quite unique and strange adventure! Vietnameese people was invaded and attcked so many times in the past (mongolians, Chinees, French, Americans,...) that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;they became sometimes catchy and harrassing but nice (once the negitiating and scames avoided). Goa is quite impulsive and sometimes it could be hard to bargain :) But it's really worth to visit them, for their really rich, unique and old culture, and also for their ladies that are both beautiful and gorgeaous in their traditional cloths.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-4279252616061172329?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/4279252616061172329/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=4279252616061172329' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4279252616061172329'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4279252616061172329'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/delta-du-mekong-et-arrivee-au-cambodge.html' title='Delta du mekong et arrivee au Cambodge'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVY2VHK_I3I/AAAAAAAAIjA/J0uFNKIV9u0/s72-c/IMG_8556.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-5453953603619018449</id><published>2008-12-22T04:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-26T05:36:31.423-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Saigon/Hochi minh City</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTdvh5UsFI/AAAAAAAAIgo/COc3SlDIgoI/s1600-h/IMG_8448.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTdvh5UsFI/AAAAAAAAIgo/COc3SlDIgoI/s200/IMG_8448.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284092071434825810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTbgdr9SSI/AAAAAAAAIgg/sq8WWBJ5pdI/s1600-h/IMG_8459.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTbgdr9SSI/AAAAAAAAIgg/sq8WWBJ5pdI/s200/IMG_8459.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284089613583730978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTarpJ5QTI/AAAAAAAAIgY/-Ebvemk8VN8/s1600-h/IMG_8476.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTarpJ5QTI/AAAAAAAAIgY/-Ebvemk8VN8/s200/IMG_8476.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284088706129019186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTaIu-X9kI/AAAAAAAAIgQ/lhaFWO-WJa8/s1600-h/IMG_8467.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTaIu-X9kI/AAAAAAAAIgQ/lhaFWO-WJa8/s200/IMG_8467.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284088106395891266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Goa a pris beaucoup de retard dans ses posts. Il a visite une ferme de vers a soie a Hoi an et a du negocier ferme face a un hotel qui a voulu garder les passeports... ensuite vol depuis Danang, 3e ville du pays, lourdement bombardee pendant la guerre avec les Americains, mais plein de projets de residences immobilieres sont en cours et vont massacrer le littoral (il y a de belles vagues et des plages sympa). Apres un vol il a gagne Saigon (avec ses parents), premiere grosse surprise la ville est tres occidentalisee et moderne, avec des tours de bureaux en verre, de larges avenues boisees, parfois on dirait Paris! La ville est large et agreable je pense a vivre, mais moins typique que Hanoi. Il a visite la Cathedrale, la tres belle poste style colonial, le quartier de Cholon... et surtout le Palais de la Reunification, celebre dans le monde entier quand les Vietcongs du Nord, leVietnam etait alors divise en 2 pays (de 1954 a 1975). Les derniers pro-occidentaux et americains ont fuit depuis son toit en helicoptere. Le film de propagande "tres objectif" sur la guerre etait aussi amusant...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi, Goa is really late in his posts! He visited a silk farm in Hoi An and had to bargain hard to get back the passport in the hotel there!... then we came to Danang (3 city of Vietnam) that was heavily bombed during the US Vietnam War. There are many real estate projects that will waste a nice ocean coastline. We took a plane to Saigon, also named Ho Chi Minh City. Goa and his parents were really surpised to find here a really modern and western style city with huge glass skycrapers. The wide avenues with trees really look like Paris sometimes! The city seems to be comfortable for living but is much les authetic than Hanoi. After visiting the fabulous post, the Cathedral and Cholon district, we discovered a really famous historic place: The Reunification Palace. In 1975, the Vietcongs from the North (vietnam was splitted into 2 countries from 1954 to 1975) caught Saigon here. The photos with last US citizens and pro-americans southerne vietnameese tried to escape hopeless the northern troups. And the propaganda movie "Objectivity" from the communist Vietnameese point of view was quite funny to watch...&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-5453953603619018449?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/5453953603619018449/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=5453953603619018449' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/5453953603619018449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/5453953603619018449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/saigonhochi-minh-city.html' title='Saigon/Hochi minh City'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SVTdvh5UsFI/AAAAAAAAIgo/COc3SlDIgoI/s72-c/IMG_8448.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-4988364389622686614</id><published>2008-12-17T06:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-18T03:26:43.785-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hue et Hoi An</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy3VoFcgI/AAAAAAAAIgI/PmaqnRr3wbA/s1600-h/IMG_8419.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy3VoFcgI/AAAAAAAAIgI/PmaqnRr3wbA/s200/IMG_8419.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281089439324795394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy2hRc3dI/AAAAAAAAIgA/AalE6vyo2hc/s1600-h/IMG_8342.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy2hRc3dI/AAAAAAAAIgA/AalE6vyo2hc/s200/IMG_8342.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281089425271217618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy2aGspwI/AAAAAAAAIf4/4A9PZvh8gDE/s1600-h/IMG_8272.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy2aGspwI/AAAAAAAAIf4/4A9PZvh8gDE/s200/IMG_8272.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281089423347066626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy10_P7wI/AAAAAAAAIfw/g9hNjthVH4c/s1600-h/IMG_8413.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy10_P7wI/AAAAAAAAIfw/g9hNjthVH4c/s200/IMG_8413.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281089413383712514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoxcHLDd-I/AAAAAAAAIfo/KcKBS29ld4k/s1600-h/IMG_8329.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoxcHLDd-I/AAAAAAAAIfo/KcKBS29ld4k/s200/IMG_8329.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281087872076838882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Coucou&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Goa a quitte l'agitation de Hanoi apres une visite des quartiers populaires de la ville assez insolite (il a vu des chiens rotis entre autres...). Nous avons gagne Hue en avion, au centre du pays. Hue est une ville assez calme et sympathique, sans monuments transcendants hormis une superbe citadelle. Helas, suite a l'offensive du TET des Vietcongs (Il y a eu des bombardements terribles en 1968 de la part des americains et certains joyaux architecturaux ont ete rases, cela donne donc un sentiment etrange de tristesse devant la betise humaine et la stupidite de la guerre... La ballade sur la riviere des parfums est un peu une arnaque aussi, la Pagode de la Dame Celeste vaut le detour mais Goa recommande de prendre un taxi pour les tombeaux royaux car ils sont trop loin. Enuite nous avons traverse Danang, anciennement proche de la ligne de demarcation entre le Sud et le Nord du Vietnam (cette ville est en plein developpement economique) pour gagne Hoi An&gt; le bus a creve mais a ete repare en 10 minutes avec limage de roue sans lunettes! Hoi An est un petit bijou et un veritable"musee vivant". Cette ville a ete preservee de la guerre et rassemble des maisons sino-japonaises, des villas coloniales francaises et un artisanat typique avec des gens particulierement agreables. Si le soleil etait au rendez-vous, ce serait parfait!&lt;br /&gt;Goa  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi, Goa left the fast moving Hanoi after a last visit in some popular  districts (he even saw some fried dogs on a barbecue...)&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;After a short flight, we landed in Hue in the center. Hue is a quiet and friendly area with some monuments, despite it's not overwhelming. The old citadel is really interesting but was unfortunately partially destroyed by the US bombings after the famous TET attack from the Vietcongs in 1968. War is really stupid and can have really dramatic consequences over the architecture and the populations... The boat ride over the Perfume River is a kind of tourist trap. It's OK to visit the nice pagoda of the ''Celest Lady'', but the royal tumbs are really far and it's better to get a taxi to get there. Then we crossed Danang, close to the former limit between Vietnam North and South (a big developping city) to gain Hoi An, a little jewel. On the way the bus wheel exploded but they changed it in 10 minutes. This "living museum" is reallyworth because it mixed the China, Japan and French influences in the architecture and way of life. People is really king and the area quiet. It would be the heaven with a little more sun!&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-4988364389622686614?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/4988364389622686614/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=4988364389622686614' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4988364389622686614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4988364389622686614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/hue-et-ho.html' title='Hue et Hoi An'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUoy3VoFcgI/AAAAAAAAIgI/PmaqnRr3wbA/s72-c/IMG_8419.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-5155863661658833137</id><published>2008-12-14T07:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-14T07:20:57.817-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Croisiere en Jonque sur Ha long Bay (Junnk Cruise)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUj-6yn2AI/AAAAAAAAIfc/lRvUm0dbCqA/s1600-h/IMG_4263.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279665702002219010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUj-6yn2AI/AAAAAAAAIfc/lRvUm0dbCqA/s200/IMG_4263.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUj-fq3bTI/AAAAAAAAIfU/J6mOw2Lwpb0/s1600-h/IMG_4259.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279665694721928498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUj-fq3bTI/AAAAAAAAIfU/J6mOw2Lwpb0/s200/IMG_4259.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUj-AoOZ_I/AAAAAAAAIfM/4qHANgxwb1U/s1600-h/IMG_8041.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279665686389352434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUj-AoOZ_I/AAAAAAAAIfM/4qHANgxwb1U/s200/IMG_8041.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUj9hf48NI/AAAAAAAAIfE/gTSRfAn1_EY/s1600-h/IMG_8046.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279665678032892114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUj9hf48NI/AAAAAAAAIfE/gTSRfAn1_EY/s200/IMG_8046.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa a fait une croisiere de 2 jours et une nuit sur une tres belle Jonque a Ha Long Bay, acompagne de ses parents et de plusieurs etrangers (hongrois, Singapouriens, Iraniens et australiens), encadre par M. Bing notre guide. Le site est tres touristique au depart des les premiers miles de croisiere le paysage se dessine comme par magie a travers la brume et les rochers aux formes incroyables surgissent soudain, Par chance le temps etant magnifique, la ballade a ete un regal. Nous avons aussi visite une tres belle (et enrome) grotte, fait du cayak au coucher du soleil, mange un repas excellent, passe une soiree Karaoke tres drole. C'est vraiment une experience a vivre dans sa vie, Goa recommande de prendre une Jonque milieu ou Haut de gamme pour eviter l'usine (nous etions 9 et c'etait parfait). Puis rentres a Hanoi, nous avons visite le marche de nuit de la ville ville, chaque rue ayant un theme (chaussures, Tapis,...), toute une experience fascinante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Hi, A 2 days, 1 night cruise with the parents of the Ha long Bay on a beautiful junk was magic. We were 9 people (Hungarian, Singapourian, Australians, Iranians... surrounded by M. ping our guide. Despite a really touristic departure, once we started to navigate, the incredible scenery appeared like in a movie, the shade of the rocks was rising from the morning fog. We had the luck to have then a sunny day, to visit a huge and beautiful cave, tp do kayaking under the sunset. The meals were also amazing and the Karaoke party really funny. It's famous but really a must do in your life. Goa really recommend you to hire a middle or top of range junk, to avoid the massive touristic tours. Back to Hanoi, the old quarte markets visit wa sreally funny, there is a street per speciality, e.g.: shoes, carpets... So incredible to see the huge mezz here!

Cette ville est dejantee, la circulation (ou plutot le slalom permament entre motos et scooters vaut le coup d'oeil). Aujourd'hui nous sommes alles au sud de la ville visiter des pagodes superbes et faire un tour de barque au milieu de rochers similaires a la baie d'Ha Long, paysages grandioses.

This city is crazy and offers a permanent show between motobikes and bicycles. Today we visited in the south of Hanoi some pagodas and we had a nice raw boat trip between rocks and caves on the ground Ha Long Bay, beautiful scenery. Tomorrow we'll take the boat to the seaside of the bay.&lt;br /&gt;Goa &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-6344671815194471999?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/6344671815194471999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=6344671815194471999' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/6344671815194471999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/6344671815194471999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/hoa-lu-et-ninh-binh-baie-dha-long.html' title='Hoa Lu et Ninh Binh, Baie D&apos;Ha long terrestre'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SUUfgbJvPmI/AAAAAAAAIe8/b6rzd5m5z_s/s72-c/IMG_7825.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-1213302424882881463</id><published>2008-12-09T02:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T02:47:32.065-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sapa et les Montagnes du nord/the nordthern mountains</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5MhU5FZdI/AAAAAAAAIeY/yRchfKI9BQU/s1600-h/IMG_7703.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277739948752332242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5MhU5FZdI/AAAAAAAAIeY/yRchfKI9BQU/s200/IMG_7703.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5MG_FAV5I/AAAAAAAAIeQ/2wFVcta42bk/s1600-h/IMG_7733.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277739496220153746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5MG_FAV5I/AAAAAAAAIeQ/2wFVcta42bk/s200/IMG_7733.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5Lu1sijzI/AAAAAAAAIeI/wDh40vgK4C4/s1600-h/IMG_7686.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277739081384759090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5Lu1sijzI/AAAAAAAAIeI/wDh40vgK4C4/s200/IMG_7686.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Coucou&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;l'excursion a Sapa etait une idee geniale. Le train de nuit est tres calsse en bois et confortable, avec des Vietnamiens de la campagne beaucoup plus sympas. Sapa est a quelques kilometres de la Chine que l'on appercoit, le paysage de rizieres et les tribus locales sontexceptionnels. Le temps est frais mais par chance ensoleille et Goa a trouve un hotel a 5 $ avec une vue de reve et une cheminee en prime, un vrai bonheur apres Hanoi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Hi, the quick escape in Sapa close tothe chineese border was a great decision. People was nice in the night train and it was really confortable with a wooden cabin. Sapa's ricefileds in stairs are really typical like the local tribes that live here. The wheather is cold but by luck sun was here for great views, and Goa found a 5$ hotel with a stunning moutains view and a chimnea, a real dream after Hanoi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-1213302424882881463?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/1213302424882881463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=1213302424882881463' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1213302424882881463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1213302424882881463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/sapa-et-les-montagnes-du-nordthe.html' title='Sapa et les Montagnes du nord/the nordthern mountains'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5MhU5FZdI/AAAAAAAAIeY/yRchfKI9BQU/s72-c/IMG_7703.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-4260925956014078909</id><published>2008-12-08T02:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T02:36:45.328-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Arrivee a Hanoi/ Vietnam arrival, the crazy bus</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5KLxh-qkI/AAAAAAAAIeA/c3Y0RvjmNIw/s1600-h/IMG_7653.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277737379459672642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5KLxh-qkI/AAAAAAAAIeA/c3Y0RvjmNIw/s200/IMG_7653.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5Jy5LIfWI/AAAAAAAAId4/ds7_npXBnw8/s1600-h/IMG_7672.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277736952014601570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5Jy5LIfWI/AAAAAAAAId4/ds7_npXBnw8/s200/IMG_7672.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5Jd9t92QI/AAAAAAAAIdw/B6rbGQkH1Rg/s1600-h/IMG_7681.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277736592457193730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5Jd9t92QI/AAAAAAAAIdw/B6rbGQkH1Rg/s200/IMG_7681.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa a pris un bus Vientiane Hanoi car c'est 10 fois moins cher que l'avion. Cela a ete une experience memorable et lassez galere, mais drole car partagee avec des etrangers sympas. Le bus prevu a 17h est parti a 19h, avec une tentative d'arnaque des chauffeurs vietnamiens qui ont voulu nous sortir vers un buis pourri, mais etant 15 etrangers on a resiste. Ensuite trajet sur des routes pourries ou en renovation avec une organisation stupide au possible (pause pipi et le reste tres souvent, arrets sans raisons ni explications vu que les chauffeurs ne parlent que le vietnamien et eaient odieux...). Arrives trop tot a la frontiere on a dormi (+/-) dans le bus 4h a l'arret dans la cour d'un hotel qui ne voulait pas nous loger... puis passage de la frontiere, le summum de la corruption lorsqu'on a quitte la Laos, des Vietnamiens payaient le douanier pour eviter la queue. On a hausse le ton et on est passes en force. Cote poste Vietnamien il y avait heureusement un guichet pour les etrangers... Ensuite route (ou plutot course poursuite avec les camions) cote Vietnamien dans des paysages tres beaux, avec des gens tres typiques (chapeau dans les rizieres), beaucoup de motos aussi. Nous sommes finalement arrives en 26h au lieu des 20 annoncees.&lt;br /&gt;Le Vietnam semble tres pauvre et desorganise et Hanoi est une ville extremement bruyante malgre quelques endroits sympas. Les premiers contacts avec les locaux tres "rentre dedans" et agressifs sont assez decevants. Goa va donc partir 2 jours a Sapa dans les montagnes au calme pour voir des gens plus humains et rejoint ses parents qui arrivent a Hanoi le 11 decembre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa took a bus from Vientiane to Hanoi because it was 10 times cheaper that the plane. The experience was insane and hard but quite funnny. We left at 19h instead of 17h because of the driver that tried to kswap the strangers in a crappy bus instead of the regular one we had. But we were 15 and hard bargaining succeeded. The roads were crappy or in renovation with the summum of illogic organization ) pie pauses with no explanations and a really rude driver (he didn't speak English and always trioed to mess up or get money from us). Arrived too early at the boder, we had to wait and +/- sleep in the bus 4hrs despite we stayed at an hotel court... The boder crossing in Laos was a summum of corruption (the Vietnameese were cheating the queue giving money to the staff). We had to use more agressive approach and got the stamp to quit the country. The Vietnameese entry was better with a strangers counter and nicer staff. Then Road or more a speed race with trcuks and motos on the Vietnammese side in beautiful and typical ricefields landscapes (women wear the famous chineese hat we saw in war movies). We arrived in 263 hrs instead of 20 planned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hanoi is a crazy and really noisy place with some nice places of interest. Goa's first contact with locals who are quite agressive and catchy are not easy. He'll move 2 days to Sapa to see the rural people from the north probably nicer and more quiet. The he'll gain back Hanoi to meet his parents on the 11th.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-4260925956014078909?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/4260925956014078909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=4260925956014078909' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4260925956014078909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4260925956014078909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/arrivee-hanoi-vietnam-arrival-crazy-bus.html' title='Arrivee a Hanoi/ Vietnam arrival, the crazy bus'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5KLxh-qkI/AAAAAAAAIeA/c3Y0RvjmNIw/s72-c/IMG_7653.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-5757969528575358716</id><published>2008-12-08T02:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T02:31:23.619-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Vientiane au laos</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5I31ykYnI/AAAAAAAAIdo/DA6npGFQ80k/s1600-h/IMG_7634.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277735937493983858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5I31ykYnI/AAAAAAAAIdo/DA6npGFQ80k/s200/IMG_7634.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5IkK0HqhI/AAAAAAAAIdg/y7Kx9ctabNo/s1600-h/IMG_7643.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277735599540251154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5IkK0HqhI/AAAAAAAAIdg/y7Kx9ctabNo/s200/IMG_7643.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5INtFkuOI/AAAAAAAAIdY/BTwqdm9yt4w/s1600-h/IMG_7604.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277735213603272930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/ST5INtFkuOI/AAAAAAAAIdY/BTwqdm9yt4w/s200/IMG_7604.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Coucou,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa a pris du retard dans ses posts dus a une connexion galere. L'arrivee sur Vientiane a ete une galere en raison de la difficulte de se loger a bas prix. Tout est plein vers 12h mais le 2e jour il a reussi a trouver une Guest House prers du Mekong. En soi la ville n'a rien de bien special par rapport au reste du Laos hormis quelques temples, une sorte d'arc de triomphe et un Buddha Parc kitsch avec des statues en pierre. Les restos francais sont top par contre. Visiter la ville en velo etait tres sympa. Le musee du Laos etait aussi tres interssant et montrait l'impact de la colonisation francaise et des mines americaines dans le nord. Ceci dit une grande partie est dediee a l'eloge du Parti (communiste), a prendre donc avec des pincettes en matiere d'objectivite...:) Le Laos est un pays magnifique et tres calme, bien que pauvre, les gens sont tres sympas et le&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt; tourisme &lt;/span&gt;relativement bien gere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi, sorry for the late news last days due to a slow web. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Vientiane was difficult in terms of accomodation at an affordable price. The city itself is OK but not as nice as the rest of Laos. Everything was full at 12.00 pm but Goa found a better Guest House the day after. You can visit here a pagoda, some temples, a triumph arch and a kitsch Budha Park. The restaurants are really good with French food. The choice to hire a bicycle was a cool idea. The Laos Museum also showed the impact of the French colonsation and American mines. But few rooms glorifying the unique (communist) party remember the take it with critcal spirit... Laos was a beautiful and sweet area, despite it's poor, it's preserved by cars and people was really kind.

Il a appercu des maisons typiques en Bambou, le Laos est un pays egalement tres pauvre mais les gens s'accomodent de ses ressources. Viang Vien est un cadre pardisiaque et Goa a dormi dans un cabanon pres de la riviere. Helas, la beaute des paysages est gachee par un tourisme abruti de masse anglo-saxon. C'est assez edifiant de les voir le soir devant la TV a regarder Friends, comme dans le film Wall-e. Le tubing est une actvite locale marrante mais pas tres sportive. Il s'agot de glisser dans une bouee sur la riviere et de fairela tournee des bars. Goa a bien rigole mais a hate de gagner Vientiane, la capitale du pays.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, Goa spent 2 days in Vieng level of poverty despite people survive with the local resources, The scenenry is a little heaven with bamboo bungalows on the riverside. Unfortunately, the postcard isn wasted by stupid young English speakers that spend their time watching TV like in the movie Wall-e. Tubling is alos one of the mai activities here, you follow the river stream on a tube and you stop everywhere to take some beers. Quite funny but Goa really looks forward to be in Ventiane to be back in real Laos.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-15029337076759239?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/15029337076759239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=15029337076759239' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/15029337076759239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/15029337076759239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/12/viang-vien-tubing.html' title='Viang Vien Tubing'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/STkCEoykOrI/AAAAAAAAIdQ/7fknIy3HXpk/s72-c/IMG_7597.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-8307904650951105470</id><published>2008-11-30T03:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-30T23:55:54.178-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Luang Prabang suite</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/STOXu73kkCI/AAAAAAAAIcI/B3xNx0JsS9I/s1600-h/IMG_7442.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/STOXu73kkCI/AAAAAAAAIcI/B3xNx0JsS9I/s200/IMG_7442.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274726421181534242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/STOVMRsZ-vI/AAAAAAAAIcA/iy_HkKL5GWw/s1600-h/IMG_7454.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/STOVMRsZ-vI/AAAAAAAAIcA/iy_HkKL5GWw/s200/IMG_7454.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274723626721606386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/STOUM3Two3I/AAAAAAAAIb4/prebK3v2V5U/s1600-h/IMG_7473.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/STOUM3Two3I/AAAAAAAAIb4/prebK3v2V5U/s200/IMG_7473.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274722537307153266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Goa a apprecie quelques jours au calme dans cette ville magnifique et classe. Seul regret, les prix sont abusivement chers pour toutes les activites (le double depuis l'an dernier) et une nouvelle loi studpide interdit la location de velos. Goa a donc renonce aux trecks et tours d'elephant, il a juste visite la ville, ses casacdes fabuleuses et ses grottes (sympas mais sans plus). Il va desormais gangner Vang Vien, etape sur le trajet vers Ventiane. PS: Le Guide du Routard et le Lonely Planet n'ont visiblement pas ete mis a jour depuis un bail, les prix sont completement erronnes!! Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Goa really enjoyed the quiet and smart Luang Prabang city. Unfortunately, the prices are abusive and double than last year. A stupuid law also forbid to ride a bike so Goa just visited the temples, made a swim in waterfalls and visited some caves (nice but overrated). He preferred not to do all trecks and elephant ride, more expensive than in Europe! He'll now get Vang Vien before Ventiane.  PS: The Lonely Planet is completely not right  for the prices!!!!

Il etait avec plusieurs jeunes avec qui il a joue de la guitare avec une vue sur des paysages a couper le souffle. Le Laos est un pays tres beau, et aussi beaucoup moins developpe que la Thailande, ce qui fait qu'il reste tres preserve au niveau des paysages. En meme temps les infrastructures sont assez basiques, par exemple le debarcadere est une colline de sable... La ville de Luang Prabang est fabuleuse et tres reponsante, Goa va y passer quelques jours car c'est amusant de voir des maisons type colonial francais, de trouver des boulangeries et de voir les laotiens jouer a la petanque! Le marche du soir est assez exceptionnel aussi. Il va aussi se faire un trek de quelques jours. PS: Goa est triste de voir les attaques a Bombay a l'hotel Taj Mahal ou il etait en septembre.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi, Goa enjoyed a 2 days cruise on the Mekong river with a step in the Pak Beng village. He played guitar and had a lot of fun with some fellow travellers, while the view was stunning in front of his eyes. Laos is a really beautiful place, preserved by the massive modernization that damaged Thailand. The resverse side is that the infrastructure are really basic sometimes. For example the pier is just a sand dune!. Luang Prabang city is really beautfiul and quiet. It was Indochina in the past and that's fun to see Lao people play Petanque (a French ball game) or go to the bakery! The night market is so cool and nice also.He'll also do a trek for few days. PS: Goa is sad for the attacks in Bombay, he was in the Taj Mahal; hotel in September (for visit).

Il a eu un tour d'un jour chez les diffrentes tribus (dont les femmes girafe Karen), et finalement le tour etait bien et pas trop tourisitique. Il etait avec 2 francais tres sympas. Il a ensuite vu le triangle d'or, frontiere commune entre la Thailande, le Laos et la Birmanie, propice au trafic d'opium par le passe. La vue et le tour de bateau sur le Mekong etaient tres sympas aussi et la ville historique de Chiang Sean assez jolie. Au retour il a joue de la guitare dans un bar reggae, vu une horloge etonnante a Chiang Rai. Ensuite Goa st arrive a Chiang Kong en bus assez roots. La ville etant sans interet majeur, il a traverse le Mekong et Gagne une nouvelle etape, le Laos a Huay Xai. Le poste frontiere est assez rustique, le responsable faisant la sieste sur le comptoir. Goa a 2 millions de kips! C'est l'equivalent de 200 euros. Enfin Goa a eu son visa sur place (25 euros) et part demain 2 jours en bateau lent sur le Mekong vers Luang Prabang. PS: les connections internet bsont lentes et cheres ici, donc Goa risque de donner moins de news pour les prochains jours... Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Goa really enjoyed Chiang Rai, not really nice but cool atmosphere. He made a trip to discover with 2 cool French the different tribes (including long Neck women of Karen) and the famous common border between Laos, Thailand and Burma, the Golden Triangle (also famous for the opium trade in the past). The View and the boat ride over the Mekong river were cool, including a break in Chiang Sen historic place. Back to chiang Rai he played guitar in a reggae pub and saw a stange clock tower that sings! Today, Goa arrived by a rustic bus to Chiang Kong, and chose to cross now the Mekong River to Laos. The customs office is quite funny and rustic, the manager was sleeping when he arrived but he got his visa (25 euros). Goa has 2 million kips, that represents 200 euros! Tomorrow He'll take the slow boat for 2 days to Luang Prabang. PS: due to a slow internet and expensvie fares, Goa will give few news the next days.... Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-8193052335627725626?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/8193052335627725626/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=8193052335627725626' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8193052335627725626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8193052335627725626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/11/golden-triangle-et-laos-26-nov-dedicace.html' title='Golden triangle et Laos 26 nov: dedicace a Philippe du Laos!!!'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSvE7F2ij_I/AAAAAAAAIbk/4iePJLNtaUs/s72-c/IMG_7249.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-5868379816363447640</id><published>2008-11-23T03:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-24T04:57:26.263-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Chiang mai et ses chiens errants</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSqkPbSXvzI/AAAAAAAAIbI/9j_-awxsOB4/s1600-h/IMG_7186.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSqkPbSXvzI/AAAAAAAAIbI/9j_-awxsOB4/s200/IMG_7186.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272206898720390962" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSqjjGtJWeI/AAAAAAAAIbA/ab9iSlVqqD0/s1600-h/IMG_7203.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSqjjGtJWeI/AAAAAAAAIbA/ab9iSlVqqD0/s200/IMG_7203.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272206137281305058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSqizam2oNI/AAAAAAAAIa4/MSp1P_OoQV8/s1600-h/IMG_7167.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSqizam2oNI/AAAAAAAAIa4/MSp1P_OoQV8/s200/IMG_7167.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272205317989900498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Coucou,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Goa a transite deux jours a Chiang Mai, il a croise un canadien Matt avec qui il a partage l'hotel. Chiang Mai est tres appreciee des touristes et est considere comme la ville culturelle Thai (ecoles de massage, cuisine et boxe thai...), ses temples sont tres beaux en effet. Mais le cote tres touristique et mercantile de la ville ne lui a pas plu, il a eu affaire a des tuks tuks malhonnetes et des agnces de toursime agressives, a des chiens errants qui l'ont attaque (heureusement les chaussures de rando dans le museau ca fait mal :). Chiang Mai peut etre bien pour les treks car c'est moins cher que Chiang Rai mais en gros groupes. Goa est donc alle directement a Chiang Rai, moins agreable mais les gens sont plus cools et visite demain le triangle d'or (fronriere commune Thailande, Laos et Birmanie) et les tribus Karen (avec les femmes girafes), il a prefere garder les treks dans la jungle pour le Laos. PS: Pai est un village "hippie"repute sympa dans un cadre de reve mais c'est aussi devenu tres touristique et un sacre detour, donc a faire seulement si vous avez du temps et envie de voie la foule :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;PS: le bus local est marrant mais pas assez large pour les epaules et la police a embarque une locale, ils ne plaisantent pas avec les drogues ici!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Goa stayed 2 days in Chiang Mai and shared the hotel with Matt, from Canada. Chiang Mai is considered to be a cultural must do for tourists and thais (cooking, massage and boxe thai courses) and the temples are really nice. It's a pity there is a huge touristic pressure with dishonnest Tuk Tuk, agressive travel agencies and wild dogs that attacked him (fortunately not bitten). It's a good spot for cheap treks despite you risk to have a big group. So Goa went earlier to Chiang Rai, less tourstic, treks are more epnsive but in smaller groups, the city is maybe not as nice but he's happy to be back with nice Thais again. Tomorrow he'll take a day trip to Golden Triangle (Burma, Laos and Thailand common border), Karen tribes and long neck women. he preferred to keep the wild treks for Laos. PS: he heared about Pai, a nice village surounded by cascades and cool (hippie) atmosphere, but he heard that the place beacme now overcrowded and touristic, and because it's 6hrs bus to go and come back, he skipped this place:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;PS: teh bus was funny but to narrow forthe shoulders and the cops brought a Thai women, they don't joke with drugs here!

Il y a des ruines sympa mais nous avons bataille pour trouver comment y acceder car les Thais ne comprennent pas l'anglais hors des quartiers touristiques et un grand nombre ne peut lire une carte... C'etait assez folklorique mais le Bouddha enserre dans un figuier en valait la peine. Goa a aussi ete hacerle par des rabatteurs sur le marche de Patpong (on y trouve un nombre incroyable de Ray-Ban et T-shirts de marque contrefaits), ce marche touristique est aussi le quartier "rouge" rempli de bars a prostituees. C'etait assez glauque mais cela est courant en Asie... il a aussi visite le Palais Royal, et le Tuk Tuk a tente de nous arnaquer en nous emmenant dans un autre endroit (apres une escale dans un magasin de costumes) et il s'il etait ensuite rellement perdu, toute une histoire pour rentrer (on est partis sans le payer du coup:)&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons appercu aussi un match de boxe thai, assez impressionnant. Bangkok est une ville incroyable, fatigante en raison de la pollution et des voitures, mais sorti des quartiers touristiques ou les arnaques sont courantes, les Thais sont adorables et les situations comiques (par exemple lorsque des motos traversent la cour d'un bar en terasse... Et la ville reste bien plus moderne et developpe que l'Inde.&lt;br /&gt;Goa est arrive ce matin a Chang Mai dans le Nord apres 16h de train de nuit, le service est etonnant, ils font meme les lits, dommage que les neons soient a hauteur des yeux car sinon c'est pas mal pour voyager. Il a croise des Autrichiennes, un Canadin Matt avec il partage l'hotel et une Quebecoise, le voyage devient de plus en plus aventureux et c'est tres sympa.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Hi, Goa changed hostel after River Kwai due to drunk English guys that disturbed everyone in the corridor. He met Sebastien from France and visited Bangkok with few people. We also tried to visit Ayutthaya on our own but it was hard because of the language barrier and the impossibility for most Thai to read a map outside touristic places. The Buddha trapped below a huge tree was still worth. then on the Patpong market (quite famous for fake Ray-Ban and T-shirts), he was harassed by prostitutes in this area, quite shocking for a European but it's common here... he also visited the beautiful Royal Palace and had to deal with a lost and dishonest Tuk Tuk (so we left without paying :).&lt;br /&gt;We also saw a spectacular Thai Boxing game. Bangkok is really a fun city, despite to be polluted and noisy due to a huge car traffic. It's still much richer and better organized than India. we had some funny situations, as a motorbike crossing a crowded pub terrace. if you go there avoid touristic places because Thais are much more friendly (and honest:) there.&lt;br /&gt;Goa just arrived in Chang Mai after 16hrs of a night train with a really amazing service (they prepare your bed:) The problem was the light in the level of the eyes but he had a good rest. He shared the hotel with Matt from Canada and also met a girl from Canada and girls from Austria. He enjoys the adventurous side the trips is taking!&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-3292659572555414128?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/3292659572555414128/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=3292659572555414128' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/3292659572555414128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/3292659572555414128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/11/ayutthaya-et-fin-bangkok.html' title='Ayutthaya et fin Bangkok'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSakG_ykdjI/AAAAAAAAIaU/HbpuKsyRzDk/s72-c/IMG_7128.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-8403744921796560485</id><published>2008-11-17T05:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-17T05:44:51.490-08:00</updated><title type='text'>River Kwai et Marche flottant</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSF1RkTomhI/AAAAAAAAIZ0/t_xlgb_cL78/s1600-h/IMG_6967.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269621983664445970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSF1RkTomhI/AAAAAAAAIZ0/t_xlgb_cL78/s200/IMG_6967.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSF0OixREPI/AAAAAAAAIZs/jRcXgdCXAS0/s1600-h/IMG_7021.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269620832200626418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSF0OixREPI/AAAAAAAAIZs/jRcXgdCXAS0/s200/IMG_7021.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSFzDJiffsI/AAAAAAAAIZk/H4565kymYvk/s1600-h/IMG_7071.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269619536937582274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSFzDJiffsI/AAAAAAAAIZk/H4565kymYvk/s200/IMG_7071.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSFyB2blyLI/AAAAAAAAIZc/1MnLeq8KI3U/s1600-h/IMG_6941.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269618415116863666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSFyB2blyLI/AAAAAAAAIZc/1MnLeq8KI3U/s200/IMG_6941.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSFwo4fQMAI/AAAAAAAAIZU/Jtgr7U-Wo7A/s1600-h/IMG_6948.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269616886660739074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSFwo4fQMAI/AAAAAAAAIZU/Jtgr7U-Wo7A/s200/IMG_6948.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Bonjour!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;En attendant son visa, Goa a decide de s'evader un peu. Il a pris un tour de 2 jours dont l'orgnisation etait assez extra ordinaire, il a change 3 fois de bus/jeep/van, et n'avait pas beacoup d'indications sur l'itineraire (lers guides ne parlant que le Thai :), mais d'une grande gentillesse. La sejour a ete exceptionnel. Goa a visite le marche flottant de Damnoen Sadoak, une sorte de Venise (un peu touristique), assez marrant, puis il a gagne le pont de la riviere Kwai (kwae en thai), celebre lors d'une bataille entre Japonais et Americains en 1942. On realise que la guerre a ete tres dure ici aussi, et beaucoup de prisonniers ont peri pour construire une voie ferree entre la Birmanie et Thailande. Les paysages sont fabuleux et on appercoit les montagnes Birmanes de la. Helas le pont est entoure d'un resrt touristique. Par la suite Goa a gagne un hotel extraordinaire, sur des radeaux en pleine jungle, decor de reve, rencontres et soiree tres sympa avec des Irlandais, et Francais entre autres. Pour le reveil il a ensuite plonge du radeau dans la riviere, fait une ballade sur dos d'elephant (tres gentil heureusement car c'est immense comme animal). Il a aussi vu de gros chats assez mignons... dedicace a Claire qui a fait la meme chose en Janvier!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Hey, Goa made a nice trip while he waits for the visa. He booked a thai (un)organized tour, quite fun, he changed a lot of car, bus, jeep, van and the guides depsite to be nice weren't English speakers! He enjoyed the Damnoen Saodak Market in th south of Bangkok, close to the coast. It's the thai Venice despite it's touristic, it's really funny... The He gained the famous River Kwai (Kwae in Thai) bridge that played a major role in WW2 between Japaneese and americans. Many prisonners died to build fastly a railway between Thailand and Burma. The view over neighboor Burma mountains is so beautiful. Sadly there is now a city and resort around the bridge. The He met Frenchm irish and other people in an amazing hotel, build on bamboo rafts. So magoc atmosphere, in the jungle. He woked up with a dive form the raft in the river, then he enjoyed a cool elephant ride (huge animal fortunately nice) and played with some local big cats... (xxx to Claire that did the same in January)...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-8403744921796560485?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/8403744921796560485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=8403744921796560485' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8403744921796560485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8403744921796560485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/11/river-kwai-et-marche-flottant.html' title='River Kwai et Marche flottant'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SSF1RkTomhI/AAAAAAAAIZ0/t_xlgb_cL78/s72-c/IMG_6967.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-7067060305953481518</id><published>2008-11-15T03:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T04:19:05.662-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bangkok... again :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR689l-G7LI/AAAAAAAAIZM/vyJRRsPYrLU/s1600-h/IMG_6759.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268856380420713650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR689l-G7LI/AAAAAAAAIZM/vyJRRsPYrLU/s200/IMG_6759.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR6885MD8RI/AAAAAAAAIZE/mexeFHaGQgk/s1600-h/IMG_6889.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268856368399642898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR6885MD8RI/AAAAAAAAIZE/mexeFHaGQgk/s200/IMG_6889.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR6710fUXPI/AAAAAAAAIY8/7Bz1IK0s9oE/s1600-h/IMG_6826.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268855147367521522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR6710fUXPI/AAAAAAAAIY8/7Bz1IK0s9oE/s200/IMG_6826.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR66jT_mnFI/AAAAAAAAIY0/Rfsowpv7Rrk/s1600-h/IMG_6903.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268853729895291986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR66jT_mnFI/AAAAAAAAIY0/Rfsowpv7Rrk/s200/IMG_6903.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Coucou&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa a pu se reposer et recuperer tranquilement a Bangkok, la ville est grande mais tres sympa, beaucoup plus propre que l'Inde et assez organisee, dans les standards d'asie (villes tres desnsement peuplees et animees avec des marches partout). Il aura son visa le 20 pour le Vietnam, en plus la soeur du roi est decedee et le centre ville et ses palais sont fermes 2 jours du coup il va se ballader sur la riviere Kwai (celebre pour les combats sur son pont pdt la Guerre de 39-45) et le marche flottant proche de Bangkok. Il a visite les temples de la ville dont Wat Pho et son Boudha allonge de 49m sur15 de haut! (recouvert d'or en plus). Il a vu aussi un marche geant avec des oiseaux, des crocos, des armes blanches dans la banlieue. Il va ensuite filer vers le nord du pays en train et visiter le Triangle d'or probablement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hello, Goa could rest and take his time since he is in Bangkok. The city, despite to be overcrowded is much cleaner and organized by India. He'll get the Vietnam Visa on the20th and the King's sister is dead recently, so the city center and its palaces are closed for 2 days. He decided to do a treck in the River Kwai (famous bridge battle in WW2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; ) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;and see the floating market He saw Wat pho temple with a huge leaning Budha of 49m lenght and 15m high (and covered by gold)! He also visited a huge WE market with cocodiles, brids, white weapons in the subburbs, quite amazing. After the 20th, he'll move to the North and the Godlen triangle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-7067060305953481518?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/7067060305953481518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=7067060305953481518' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7067060305953481518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7067060305953481518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/11/bangkok-again.html' title='Bangkok... again :)'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR689l-G7LI/AAAAAAAAIZM/vyJRRsPYrLU/s72-c/IMG_6759.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-8438185898340986253</id><published>2008-11-13T03:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T03:46:21.226-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Arrivee a Bangkok, periple en Asie du sud est</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR62VCsVvPI/AAAAAAAAIYs/G0u9mGRDHhI/s1600-h/IMG_6767.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268849086686412018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR62VCsVvPI/AAAAAAAAIYs/G0u9mGRDHhI/s200/IMG_6767.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR614RQ9cUI/AAAAAAAAIYk/RarCoTYfV1k/s1600-h/IMG_6789.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268848592381899074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR614RQ9cUI/AAAAAAAAIYk/RarCoTYfV1k/s200/IMG_6789.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRwUnxz7HcI/AAAAAAAAIYc/7pZ8D6s38_g/s1600-h/IMG_6754.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268108337735212482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRwUnxz7HcI/AAAAAAAAIYc/7pZ8D6s38_g/s200/IMG_6754.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Ca y est,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Apres a voir quitte un pays magnifique (la Nouvelle Zelande) Goa est vraiment en asie cette fois, apres une courte escale a Sydney ou l'ete demarre car il faisait tres beau (3h de vol avec la Nouvelle Zelande) et un autre vol de 9h, il est arrive e nuit a Bangkok dans un aeroport nickel, tres grand et neuf, contrairement a l'image que l'on en donne. Apres un trajet en taxi, il a gagne un quartier pres de Soi Rambutri (un peu en retrait Kao San Road qui est un piege a backpackers). Il a trouve une chambre pour 5 euros a 1h du mat, c'est assez facile de se loger ici. Il a visite le lendemain le marche de KaoSan (on y trouve de tout pour 3 sous, meme des sacs a dos tops) Chinatown (qui ressemble a un souk Marocain mais en version asiatique), il a longe la riviere en bateau et teste le taxi rickchaw version thai (tuk tuk). Les temples de Bangkok sont magnifiques, du niveau du temple d'or en Inde. Goa va rester quelques jours ici le temps d'avoir son visa pour le Vietnam et de se reposer. Goa est heureux de revenir dans des pays plus "roots" ou il peut se ballader sans forcement payer des tours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Here we are, After he moved away from a stunning country (New Zeakand) goa is really in Asia after a step In Sydney that starts the summer season (3hrs flight from New Zealand) and 9hrs flight then. He discovered a really clean, big and modern airport contrary to some stereotypes. After a cab race, he found at 1 am for 5 euros a cool accomodation in Soi Rambutri, a bit frurther than Kao San Road a backpakers trap :) He visited the market there where you can ind anything including really good backpacks for nothing... The he took the boat to visit Chinatown (mostly a souk like in Morocco) and tried the Tuk Tuk, the local rickshaw. The temples here are amazing, as beautiful as the Golden temple in India. Goa'll stay few days here to get the Vietnam Visa and to rest. He really enjoys tobe back in a free country where you don't need to pay always to do something :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-8438185898340986253?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/8438185898340986253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=8438185898340986253' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8438185898340986253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/8438185898340986253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/11/arrivee-bangkok-periple-en-asie-du-sud.html' title='Arrivee a Bangkok, periple en Asie du sud est'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SR62VCsVvPI/AAAAAAAAIYs/G0u9mGRDHhI/s72-c/IMG_6767.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-7947470325712657843</id><published>2008-11-11T01:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-11T02:16:33.091-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Queestown, milford Sound et Christchurch</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlbcWaaqUI/AAAAAAAAIYU/WYaxil1QQhA/s1600-h/IMG_6745.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267341781797349698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlbcWaaqUI/AAAAAAAAIYU/WYaxil1QQhA/s200/IMG_6745.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlZ6KYGzLI/AAAAAAAAIYM/xwUmH0MOkcg/s1600-h/IMG_6730.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267340094939253938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlZ6KYGzLI/AAAAAAAAIYM/xwUmH0MOkcg/s200/IMG_6730.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlZ55m4eJI/AAAAAAAAIYE/hgK5O5eYptI/s1600-h/IMG_6738.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267340090437826706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlZ55m4eJI/AAAAAAAAIYE/hgK5O5eYptI/s200/IMG_6738.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlZ5vjxBFI/AAAAAAAAIX8/4BVqyNpZ6JI/s1600-h/IMG_6694.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267340087740400722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlZ5vjxBFI/AAAAAAAAIX8/4BVqyNpZ6JI/s200/IMG_6694.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Bonjour!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa a passe deux jours a Queestown, tres belle ville en bord de lac qui est la station de ski principale de l'hemisphere sud (leur hiver est en juillet /aout :), il a passe des soirees festives avec son groupe sympa, a visite aussi dans les environs Milford Sound, un Fjord assez excetionnel tout comme sa route d'cces, pour les connaisseurs du Seigneur des Anneaux, il y a les sequences de la Moria (montagne), du Canoe (film 1) entre autres et du Rohan (Film 2) qui y ont ete tournees. Puis Goa a appercu MT Cook depuis un lac bleu turquoise (Couleur liee aux poussieres de pierre au fond du lac).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;La nouvelle Zelande touche a sa fin car Goa est a Christchurch (jolie ville qui rappelle Dublin) et demain il sera a Bangkok (Apres un trasnit via Syndey et pas mal de vols).

He also visited a fabulous fiord name Milford Sound. If you are addicted to the Lord of the Rings movie, the Moria scenes were made in the moutains there, the canoe in the fiord and rohan in the hills. Then Goa saw Mt Cook in a deep blue lake, the color is due to stone dust in the base of the lake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;New Zealand step ends tomorrow, Goa will leave from Christchurch (nice city that really looks like Dublin) for Bangkok (after steps in Syndey and few hours of plane). Keep in touch for the real asia step of the tour! Jsut for information, check the fiod photo, the Maori name Aetoroa for the country is land of the long white cloud, really obvious on this photo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-7947470325712657843?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/7947470325712657843/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=7947470325712657843' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7947470325712657843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7947470325712657843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/11/queestown-milford-sound-et-christchurch.html' title='Queestown, milford Sound et Christchurch'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRlbcWaaqUI/AAAAAAAAIYU/WYaxil1QQhA/s72-c/IMG_6745.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-7975925577500268393</id><published>2008-11-07T21:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T04:20:06.840-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Le lac mirroir: Wanaka</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRVU3lidFhI/AAAAAAAAIXw/oOJfeqWiSTc/s1600-h/IMG_6631.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266208653225825810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRVU3lidFhI/AAAAAAAAIXw/oOJfeqWiSTc/s200/IMG_6631.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRVTsv3EatI/AAAAAAAAIXo/-gDsgHd28ho/s1600-h/IMG_6634.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266207367506455250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRVTsv3EatI/AAAAAAAAIXo/-gDsgHd28ho/s200/IMG_6634.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRVSxPBEwpI/AAAAAAAAIXg/z4ml9OJi_EI/s1600-h/IMG_6574.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266206345077768850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRVSxPBEwpI/AAAAAAAAIXg/z4ml9OJi_EI/s200/IMG_6574.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRVR0FZbf3I/AAAAAAAAIXY/-je9p1m4sZw/s1600-h/IMG_6600.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266205294523547506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRVR0FZbf3I/AAAAAAAAIXY/-je9p1m4sZw/s200/IMG_6600.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Coucou,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Goa a apprecie l'escalade du glacier Franz Jospeh, tres beau, pas trop difficile et sous un soleil exceptionnel. Le village atour du glacier est aussi tres sympa. Nous sommes proches de l'ete dans l'Hemisphere sud mais ce sont des stations de ski aussi. Il est proche du meridien 175 Est et du Parrelle 40 sud, Goa 'a jamais ete aussi loin de chez lui et realise qu'il a deja fait 2 mois de voyages avec des aventures variees et exceptionnelles. Il lui reste ensuite l'Asie du Sud est, beau programme en perspective...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Aujourd' hui il a traverse des routes a couper le souffle devant divers lacs et rivieres qui refletentent les montagnes de Nouvelle Zelande (MT Cook fait environ 3000m), Goa a aussi tente de poster la video de son saut en parachute disponible sur le lien Video de ce blog (si ca marche bien). a Bientot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-STYLE: normalfont-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LcAUTG2A90"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LcAUTG2A90&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Hi, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;The Franz Jospeh Glacier climbing was great under a really sunny wheather and not too hard. The surrounding village is also really cool, we are close to be in summer in the South Hemisphere but during their winter, this place is a famous ski resort here. Goa is mostly on meridian 175 East and 40th parrallel, he's never been so far from home ans he realized that he already did 2 months now with exceptionnal adventures, and it's not aver with south east Asia to discover!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Today, Goa crossed New Zealand highets Mountains (Mt Cook is mostly 3000 m) and loved the lakes that reflect amazing scenery.

Ensuite Goa a longe la cote ouest de cette ile, a vu des falaises encore plus belles que la Great Ocean road d'Australie et a fait escale dans un pub motel retro tenu par ''Les'', 83 ans, qui garde une peche extra ordinaire et une ambiance exceptionnelle dans un village recule de la cote ouest: Manpahua. Il y a une tempete et un temps assez frais, ce qui rend la vue plus spectaculaire. Il y a eu une soiree a theme et une panne de courant nous a valu une soiree a la bougie dans le pub avec les gens du tour, tres grande ambiance. Demain le glacier Franz Jospeh nous attend pour une rando sympatique.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Hi, As you could see the skydive Goa made above Tasman national park was cool, with a view over seas and mountains in the same time. Then Goa come alongsinde the westcoast of South Island, saw spectcular rocks and climbs, nicer tand more spectacular han the Great Ocean Road  in Australia, more impressive due to a huge storm. He continued his journey in a lost motel hold by Les, 83 years old publican but still really fun and active and enjoyed a fancy dressed party, really funny... More because their was a power shortage and we stayed in the dark with candles. Tomorrow Goa 'll climb the famous Franz Joseph Glacier.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-209391139530433014?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/209391139530433014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=209391139530433014' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/209391139530433014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/209391139530433014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/11/westport-et-manipahua.html' title='Westport et Manipahua'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SRJ4QT5ELJI/AAAAAAAAIXQ/5AYCFRojJ6s/s72-c/IMG_6486.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-6802772771163501883</id><published>2008-11-03T01:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-03T20:13:52.650-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Arrivee a l'Ile du Sud/ South Island, quizz</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Hello,Goa a traverse en ferry les quelques 25kms entre les 2 iles pour debarquer sur l'Ile du Sud tres belle, car les montagnes plongent dans la mer. ll est vraiment ravi du nouveau bus tres international, avec un autre chauffeur tres sympa et des gens classe et droles.

Le Kiwi pass pou les bus est pratique mais peut virer a la galere comme a Taupo car Goa n'a pas pu faire la rando de 1 jour au pied des volcans du parc Tongariro (f photo du lac qu'on lui a donne) et il etait entoure d'Anglais abrutis, mais heureusement il a change de bus et est tombe sur des gens beaucoup plus sympas et pas venus uniquement pour boire....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Il est ce soir a Wellington, la capitale de la Nouvelle Zelande, tres belle ville portuaire et avec un certain cote culurel et europeen qui manque cruellement a Auckland. Demain ferry pour l'Ile du Sud et plusieurs sites sympas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa really enjoyed the break in a guest house at River Valley, a lost place in the mountains where he watched the rugby game between the All Blacks/Australia with local people who wrere really fun. The Kiwi bus pass could be sometimes a nightmare like in Taupo because he didn't had the time do the Tongariro national par hiking (see on the photo of the lake given by a friend), close to the volanoes, and he was surrounded by stupid drunk bitish people... Fotunately he changed bus and the other fellow are really nie. Tonight he stpooed at Wellington, a really european and nice capital, muh better than Auckland. Tomorrow he gets the ferry to South Island!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-335684494163308633?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/335684494163308633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=335684494163308633' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/335684494163308633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/335684494163308633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/11/river-valley-et-wellington.html' title='River Valley et Wellington'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQ1px0CDf6I/AAAAAAAAIWU/BmLqhGzdNRE/s72-c/IMG_2847.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-3206343376691234745</id><published>2008-10-30T22:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-30T22:31:22.916-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Waitomo Dark Rafting et Taupo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqX7kWyXTI/AAAAAAAAIVs/jnkmpCIN2P4/s1600-h/IMG_6315.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263186164163173682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqX7kWyXTI/AAAAAAAAIVs/jnkmpCIN2P4/s200/IMG_6315.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqX7GraWoI/AAAAAAAAIVk/y99mGiEH9kU/s1600-h/IMG_6302.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263186156196616834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqX7GraWoI/AAAAAAAAIVk/y99mGiEH9kU/s200/IMG_6302.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqX61yZf5I/AAAAAAAAIVc/ArsflbiTQhQ/s1600-h/IMG_6308.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263186151662518162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqX61yZf5I/AAAAAAAAIVc/ArsflbiTQhQ/s200/IMG_6308.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Bonjour,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa a fait l'etape suivante a Waitomo et a fait 4h de rafting/canyoning dans le noir, tres sympa: descente en rappel de 40m, tyrolienne et rafting et exploration de caves tres profondes et froides (eau a 10 degres)! Il est ensuite arrive a Taupo, un lac gigantesque face a 3 volcans dont le Mont Tongariro (parc national). Cependant la vedette lui a ete vole par son voison surnomme Mt Doom car c'est le decor du Seigneur des Anneaux, le repere du grand mechant! En realite le volcan est tres beau et toujours actif. Demain Goa part vers River Valley, connues pour ses zones de rafting....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa made a new step in Waitomo, exploring for 4hrs dark caves and underground rivers, including rafting in a 10degress water, 40m of abseiling,... He arrived today in Taupo, a huge lake facing 3 volcanoes incliuding Mt Tongariro (national Park). But the most famous volcano, still active is Mt Doom (nickname) dur to the Lord of The Rings Movie, it was used as a based for the devil Sauron! In reality this volcano is really beautiful. Tomorrow, Goa will gain River Valley for a rafting session...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-3206343376691234745?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/3206343376691234745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=3206343376691234745' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/3206343376691234745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/3206343376691234745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/10/waitomo-dark-rafting-et-taupo.html' title='Waitomo Dark Rafting et Taupo'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqX7kWyXTI/AAAAAAAAIVs/jnkmpCIN2P4/s72-c/IMG_6315.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-6994748257074920858</id><published>2008-10-28T21:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-30T22:07:58.990-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hot Water Beach Coromandel et Rotorua: Haka!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRVwpJK8I/AAAAAAAAIVU/dgaY2tpHuGo/s1600-h/IMG_6277.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263178917556595650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRVwpJK8I/AAAAAAAAIVU/dgaY2tpHuGo/s200/IMG_6277.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRVnYMMRI/AAAAAAAAIVM/GS5UqGPLLA4/s1600-h/IMG_6243.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263178915069571346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRVnYMMRI/AAAAAAAAIVM/GS5UqGPLLA4/s200/IMG_6243.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRU38qYbI/AAAAAAAAIVE/F23ZL7FGxHs/s1600-h/IMG_6215.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263178902337642930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRU38qYbI/AAAAAAAAIVE/F23ZL7FGxHs/s200/IMG_6215.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRUcb-jzI/AAAAAAAAIU8/OUQF3dVmLqc/s1600-h/IMG_6192.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263178894952795954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRUcb-jzI/AAAAAAAAIU8/OUQF3dVmLqc/s200/IMG_6192.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Hello.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Goa a commence son periple par une plage pres de Coromandel sur l'Ile du Nord, il y a des sources volcaniques sous le sable et quand on creuse un peu il y a un jaccuzi naturel qui sort du sable! C'est assez etonnant. Ensuite il a vu Cathedral Cove, decor du Monde de Narnia 2, une tres belle grotte sur la plage. Il a aussi traverse le village surnome Hobitton en reference au film #le Seigneur des Anneaux# car la sequence de la Comte a ete tournee dans cet endroiut tres vert. Puis il s'est ballade le lendemain dans des mines abandonnees avant de gagner Rotorua, berceau de la culture Maori. Par contre grosse deception, les sources d'eau chaude sont payantes (hormis celles, couvertes de son hostel) et les autres brulantes. On ne peut s'y baigner, c'est aussi bizarre cette odeur de souffre qui sent l'oeuf pourri. Ca chauffe en dessous!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Hi, Goa started his tour swimming in hot Water Beach's sources, close to Coromandel in Nothern Island. It's due to a volanic underground activity, if you dig a hole on the beach, water gets really warm, quite funny experience. Then he explored Cathedral Cove beach where the Narnia 2 movie was made, nice cave on the beach. He crossed a village nicknamed Hobbiton due the the Shire sequence shot there for #the Lord of the Rings# movie.&lt;br /&gt;He also visited a former golden mine and arrived in Rotorua, Maori's culture coffin. Nice place despite the best hot sources are not here or too hot to go in it. And the egg smell due to sulfur is really weird at the beginning! Ground is really hit there.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-6994748257074920858?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/6994748257074920858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=6994748257074920858' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/6994748257074920858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/6994748257074920858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/10/hot-water-beach-coromandel-et-rotorua.html' title='Hot Water Beach Coromandel et Rotorua: Haka!!'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQqRVwpJK8I/AAAAAAAAIVU/dgaY2tpHuGo/s72-c/IMG_6277.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-4527737435703510044</id><published>2008-10-25T14:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T01:22:30.214-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New Zealand: Middle Earth/la Terre du Milieu</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQV5_EwnoWI/AAAAAAAAIU0/fNOGpEfzPMM/s1600-h/IMG_6162.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQV5_EwnoWI/AAAAAAAAIU0/fNOGpEfzPMM/s200/IMG_6162.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261745864168677730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQV5-zwrEdI/AAAAAAAAIUs/RkyTyiuFy4Q/s1600-h/IMG_6150.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQV5-zwrEdI/AAAAAAAAIUs/RkyTyiuFy4Q/s200/IMG_6150.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261745859605500370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQV5-dlNJHI/AAAAAAAAIUk/B2ZjLQ7JV28/s1600-h/IMG_6133.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQV5-dlNJHI/AAAAAAAAIUk/B2ZjLQ7JV28/s200/IMG_6133.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261745853651821682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOWw5iVpTI/AAAAAAAAIUc/2gbHVWRF4fk/s1600-h/IMG_6126.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOWw5iVpTI/AAAAAAAAIUc/2gbHVWRF4fk/s200/IMG_6126.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261214556521604402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Goa est arrive hier a Auckland,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Vu du ciel c'est tres vert et ca rappelle bcp l'Irlande, il a ensuite retrouve un ami de promo pour un resto tres sympa. La fourriere a Auckland est tres active et notre voiture a ete embarquee apres le resto (avec en plus le sac a dos et le passeport dedans), heuerusement ce probleme a ete regle le lendemain et la voiture rendue avec le sac. Goa a visite la Sky Tower, qui a pour but de donner un symbole a Auckland, la vue de la baie est tres sympa. la ville (sans cachet particulier) a une marina sympa et est entouree de crateres de volcans, dont Rangitoto qu'il a visiete avec Guillaume et son amie. Demain Goa reprend la route avec un pass de bus KIWI (c'est le surnom des gens ici et celui d'un oiseau etrange). Il va commencer son periple dans des sources volacniques chaudes a Rotorua sur l'ile du Nord.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Hi,&lt;br /&gt;Goa is now in New Zealand,&lt;br /&gt;He had dinner in a cool place with a university friend. The car was towed up during the dinner, including Goa's backpack and passport, fortunately he could recover his stuff one day after with the car. Goa visited the Sky Tower, the aim was to gave a symbol of Auckland, he could see a wide view on the bay of islands and volcanoes, including Rangitoto he could visit with his couple of friends. Tomorrow Goa booked a Kiwi bus pass (kiwi i a strange bird and the nickname of the people living here). He'll join Rotorua and wram volcanic sources for a swim in northern Island.&lt;br /&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-4527737435703510044?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/4527737435703510044/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=4527737435703510044' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4527737435703510044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4527737435703510044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-zealand-middle-earthla-terre-du.html' title='New Zealand: Middle Earth/la Terre du Milieu'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQV5_EwnoWI/AAAAAAAAIU0/fNOGpEfzPMM/s72-c/IMG_6162.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-4943591095436046259</id><published>2008-10-23T18:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T01:07:37.873-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Australia is ending soon ;(</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUznj1DWI/AAAAAAAAIUM/IDkdXdCDn7o/s1600-h/IMG_6096.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUznj1DWI/AAAAAAAAIUM/IDkdXdCDn7o/s200/IMG_6096.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261212404212370786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUzTdl5aI/AAAAAAAAIUE/RH8ci_SxNsE/s1600-h/IMG_6101.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUzTdl5aI/AAAAAAAAIUE/RH8ci_SxNsE/s200/IMG_6101.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261212398817502626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUy2IhXPI/AAAAAAAAIT8/2iQ1fb3nMcQ/s1600-h/IMG_6068.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUy2IhXPI/AAAAAAAAIT8/2iQ1fb3nMcQ/s200/IMG_6068.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261212390944496882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUys-y49I/AAAAAAAAIT0/G5jgYMterxY/s1600-h/IMG_6106.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUys-y49I/AAAAAAAAIT0/G5jgYMterxY/s200/IMG_6106.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261212388487783378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Coucou,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Petit message rapide de Brisbane. Goa a fait un detour imprevua Noosa Heads sur la cote pour faire du surf (il y avait peu de vagues) et acroise un Australien tres cool de Perth, c'est une ville zen sur la cote. Il a ensuite transite via le Zoo de Brisbane et a pu caresser des Kangourous et Koalas. Ce zoo a ete cree par Steve Irwin, une legende locale, mort en 2006 (le Crocodile Hunter qui a inspire le personnage de Crocodile Dundee).Brisbane est une grosse ville moderne et les plages ne sont pas proches. Il a croise quelques personnes sympa a l'hostel Chills (coup de bol Goa a chope le dernier lit de libre).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Globalement l'Australie est un super beau pays pour ses paysages, c'est dommage que le cote tourisme a l'americaine casse parfois un peu l'atmosphere mais Goa a bien aime son experience et recommande surtout le centre rouge pour sa culture aborigene, Fraser island et les Whitsundays, bien que d'apres ses rencontres le meilleur est la cote Ouest, la Tasmanie et Adelaide/Melbourne pour la culture (qu'ilverra un jour si il repasse).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Quick message from Brisbane, Goa changed the plan and made a stop at Noosa Heads on the coast to enjoy some surf 9despite waves wewr tiny). He met a cool Auddie guy from Perth and really enoyed this quiet place. Then he transited via Australia Zoo to see Kangaroos and Koalas. This zoo was made by the crocodile hunter Steve Irwin (dead in 2006), a local legend that inspirated Crocodile Dundee. Then he arrived in lats step in Australia, Brsibane, a big modern city and met some nice people at the Chill Hostel (he was lucky, only 1 bed was free).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;To sum up, Australia is a nice place with amazng landscape. It's a pity thay the toursim is managed as a massive amaerican way, but the trip is really worth, the best he did were raser and Whitsunday Islands and the Red Center where there is Aborigenal culture. He heard that the best 9he didn't visited in this trip) are west coast and Tasmania. Also Melbourne and adelaide are famed to be more cultural cities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Goa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-4943591095436046259?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/4943591095436046259/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=4943591095436046259' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4943591095436046259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/4943591095436046259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/10/australia-is-ending-soon.html' title='Australia is ending soon ;('/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOUznj1DWI/AAAAAAAAIUM/IDkdXdCDn7o/s72-c/IMG_6096.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-7244092636685669552</id><published>2008-10-21T01:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-25T14:41:49.950-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fraser Island en 4x4 (in 4WD Jeep)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SQOSWH3SeGI/AAAAAAAAITs/CnVuDx4W8x8/s1600-h/IMG_6011.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

He was with 3 Irish, 2 Estonian and 1 English girl and a french and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_90"&gt;canadian&lt;/span&gt; guys. It was so cool to travel on 120 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_91"&gt;kms&lt;/span&gt; of sand beach, except that bathing is impossible in the sea due to sharks! He also saw a wild dingo dog, really funny (despite that it can be &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_92"&gt;agressive&lt;/span&gt;)... Fraser Island is a huge sand dune covered by forest and lakes where you can &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_93"&gt;sweam&lt;/span&gt; in transparent water.

Goa a croise bcp de gens sympas dans une sorte de camping de cabanes dans la foret, il a fait une rando avec un Anglais (Jonathan), puis du snorkeling, il a vu bcp d'Allemands aussi. Goa vient d'arriver a Airlie beach pour 3/4 jours en voilier dans les Iles Whitsundays, programme cool en perspective....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa made a break in Magnetic Island, really quiet but nice island with a wird vegetation due to really dry soils (Australia is the most dry place in the world after Antarctica), so the trees are not similar to the ones we are used to see in tropcial lands... He also did some hiking and snorkeling with an English, Jonathan and then met a lot of Gremans. Now he landed in Airlie Beach for a cruise on the Whitsundays Islands by sail, nice program, isn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-1897260540736274066?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/1897260540736274066/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=1897260540736274066' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1897260540736274066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1897260540736274066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/10/magnetic-island-et-airlie-beach.html' title='Magnetic island et Airlie Beach'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SPMCz5pQ8hI/AAAAAAAAIOY/SWOVOgCEELc/s72-c/IMG_5853.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-4767243370516173663</id><published>2008-10-10T01:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T20:27:28.195-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cairns, Great Barrier reef/ Grande Barriere de Corail</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SPa0leHHPMI/AAAAAAAAIPs/DbkqvQ4gBSM/s1600-h/IMG_5771.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257588170832690370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SPa0leHHPMI/AAAAAAAAIPs/DbkqvQ4gBSM/s200/IMG_5771.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SPa0l89qiaI/AAAAAAAAIP0/bPrIA2FpSQg/s1600-h/IMG_5806.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257588179114559906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SPa0l89qiaI/AAAAAAAAIP0/bPrIA2FpSQg/s200/IMG_5806.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SPMEHxnbP_I/AAAAAAAAIOo/EOcsM6UMdf8/s1600-h/IMG_5776.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Coucou,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Goa a beacuoup aime la barriere de Corail et Cairns, ville tropicale protegee du desert par des montagnes, en 5 minutes, on passe a un climat desertique derriere ces montagnes. Il s'est offert une plongee a 8 m avec des poissons et coraux multicolores puis aussi une ballade en foret tropicale sur un telepherique. Il a croise des francais, japonais des anglais et australiens dans des restos, et a sympathise avec un guide franco australien sur le bateau qui comme beacuoup de jeunes traverse le pays.

Darwin est une ville sans particularite hormis quelques pubs sympas, elle a ete bombardee vers 1945 pendant la guerre et ensuite rasee par un cyclone en 1974, cote architecture donc, sans plus... Goa a ensuite participe a 3 jours d'excursion en van 4*4 avec 'Adevnture tours' avec un guide excellent, il etait accompagne de gens sympas comme un couple de japonais delirants et d'autres moins (astuce lorsd'un tour, choisir uniquement des jeunes). Il a ensuite passe 3 jours entre parcs naturels, casacades et baignoires naturelles a Litechfelid Park puis a Kakadou Parc (visible dans le film Crocodile Dundee), il a vu le coucher de Soleil a Ubirr, magnifique decor de savanne africaine ainsi que des peintures aborigenes de 20000 ans... superbe experience donc, les campings en + etaient tres bien. Puis apres une soiree festive, il est arrive sur Cairns sur la cote est par avion et prepare des excursions dans les iles de la barriere de corail, beau programme en perspective!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Goa&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hi, Goa booked an additional flight to go directly to Darwin, because it is mandatory to come visiting the Parks with a Tour. Darwin was dammaged by 1945 WW2 bombings and then a hurricane in 1974, so its architecture is not great but there are some cool pubs. Then He attended a 4WD expedition with 'Adventure Tours', there were some fun Japaneese and cool people but also older and less funny adults, he advise you to choose younger tours next time. He had a great guide and saw termites mountains, swimmed in natural swimming pools and cascades, made a bpat ride with crocodiles... in Litchfield Park. Then In Kakadou whrere the movie Crocodile Dundee was shot. He saw 20000 years old aborigena paintings and the best sunset in Ubirr with a view on savanna like in Africa. So, really cool experience and after a party pub, he landed in Cairns to visit some island on the Great Barrier Reaf, nice planning for the next days!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Goa&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-3722938303194600061?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/3722938303194600061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=3722938303194600061' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/3722938303194600061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/3722938303194600061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/10/kakadou-parc-et-litchfield-park.html' title='Kakadou Parc et Litchfield Park'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOxng2GeOjI/AAAAAAAAINo/eDHwEEKY_AI/s72-c/IMG_5664.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-1349534988209345594</id><published>2008-10-03T18:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-08T00:51:15.901-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Australie Red Center 3 oct 2008</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOxmZOKwTQI/AAAAAAAAINQ/YzLYp97cc6Q/s1600-h/Australie+Red+Center+1+3oct+2008+073.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254687448720493826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOxmZOKwTQI/AAAAAAAAINQ/YzLYp97cc6Q/s200/Australie+Red+Center+1+3oct+2008+073.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOxmZXqTHuI/AAAAAAAAINY/b2V0QGRva9w/s1600-h/Australie+Red+Center+1+3oct+2008+095.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254687451268718306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOxmZXqTHuI/AAAAAAAAINY/b2V0QGRva9w/s200/Australie+Red+Center+1+3oct+2008+095.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOxmZr8CVmI/AAAAAAAAINg/tPybyweRGl4/s1600-h/Australie+Red+Center+1+3oct+2008+010.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254687456711824994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOxmZr8CVmI/AAAAAAAAINg/tPybyweRGl4/s200/Australie+Red+Center+1+3oct+2008+010.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Coucou&lt;br /&gt;Goa a pu visiter le Red Center de l'Australie, un tres beau et immense desert rouge avec de la vegetation basse, des kangourous, des chameaux et chevaux sauvages (importes d'Asie par les colons), des couchers de soleil fabuleux et une vue sur les constellations de l'hemisphere sud de nuit... Il a visite Uuluru (ou Ayers Rock, le rocher rouge), les monts Olga et a fait la randonnee sur le Kings Canyon, tres beau. Il a bcp apprecie le centre aurthentique, ou l' on voit aussi la culture aborigene, les pubs saloon typiques... Par contre, vu que le centre est isole et qu'il y a plus ou moins un monopole des hotels et campings, les prix sont scandaleux, tout est payant et cher en plus ;(, enfin les paysages en valent la peine qd meme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa va desormais aller vers Kakadou mais doit passer par Darwin, (c'est une reserve naturelle on doit y aller via des tours operators), il a donc pris un vol depsuis Alice Springs vers Darwin ce soir, car y aller seul en Van (20h de route), en bus, le prix est le meme et les distances enooormes! A bientot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi all,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa was in the red Center of Australia, beautiful landscape in a giant desert with wild kangaroos, camels or horses (imported during colonization), great susnet and the south hemisphere stars view during the night. He visited Ayers Rock (or Uluru, the big red stone), Olga mountains and Kings Canyon (big Hicking there), beautiful. He was really happy to meet aborigene culture, typical saloon pus in Alice Springs. But because of the isolation, everything is organized by private resorts and really abusive prices, despite it's really cool there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa had to take another plane to Kakadou, via Darwin. Unfortunately, he'll need to book again a tour because the access is restricted there again and to come alone by Van (20hrs drive) or bus is too expensive and long, Australia is a so huge country!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Cheers....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-1349534988209345594?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/1349534988209345594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=1349534988209345594' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1349534988209345594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/1349534988209345594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/10/australie-red-center-3-oct-2008.html' title='Australie Red Center 3 oct 2008'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOxmZOKwTQI/AAAAAAAAINQ/YzLYp97cc6Q/s72-c/Australie+Red+Center+1+3oct+2008+073.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-7208920787343564032</id><published>2008-09-30T01:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-30T01:28:22.138-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sydney and Bondi Beach</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHil0bOMJI/AAAAAAAAIMg/5jTdmFSx4IE/s1600-h/Sydney+Bondi+27+28+sept+2008+015.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251727779846566034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHil0bOMJI/AAAAAAAAIMg/5jTdmFSx4IE/s200/Sydney+Bondi+27+28+sept+2008+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHimP03jwI/AAAAAAAAIMo/AgFR0H5pjl0/s1600-h/Fin+Sydney+harbour+bridge+28+29+sept+2008+034.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251727787201892098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHimP03jwI/AAAAAAAAIMo/AgFR0H5pjl0/s200/Fin+Sydney+harbour+bridge+28+29+sept+2008+034.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHhE5U2iUI/AAAAAAAAIMQ/bOrBpXR7VZw/s1600-h/Sydney+Bondi+27+28+sept+2008+045.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251726114714716482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHhE5U2iUI/AAAAAAAAIMQ/bOrBpXR7VZw/s200/Sydney+Bondi+27+28+sept+2008+045.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHhFdBE_CI/AAAAAAAAIMY/cGqEogzp5Dw/s1600-h/Fin+Sydney+harbour+bridge+28+29+sept+2008+059.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251726124295453730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHhFdBE_CI/AAAAAAAAIMY/cGqEogzp5Dw/s200/Fin+Sydney+harbour+bridge+28+29+sept+2008+059.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Coucou,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa a visite Sydney et ses environs, tout en prenant son temps pour recuperer et preparer demain le voyage au centre du continent a Ayers Rock (en avion), ici c est le printemps, il fait beau mais un vent tres froid souffle tout le temps. Sydney est une ville assez petite au final (le centre) qui peut se faire a pied, l'environnement naturel est magnifique et les plages et baies avoisinantes valent le coup d'oeil. Mais apres l'Inde, Goa trouve que tout est trop aseptise et regule (culture anglo saxonne oblige) et cela manque d'ame. en fouillant un peu il a vu des endroits plus sympa, visite quelques musees et monuments mais autre pb, la ville ets tres chere (sans forcement la qualite au RDV), tout ou presque se paye... par contre Goa a bcp aime l'Aquarium et le marche au poissons et la traversee du pont (a pied car l'escalade etait a 150euros!). Goa va maintenant essayer de decouvrir les Australiens natifs et de la campagne, en effet il n'a vu aucun aborigene a Sydney, ils sont toujours mis en marge de la societe malgre des efforts recents de reconnaissance et d'integration des gouvernements...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa made a Sydney tour and took some rest to prepare the next step to Ayers Rock (center). the landscape and areas are great because it's a huge bay. It's easy to walk arouynd the city, quite small in fact, but Goa regrets that everything is regulated and too artificial, there is a huge British influence here but not a real soul in the city unlike in India... Despite this, it's really worth to take a tour and find good places like Watson's Bay, the fish market... The problem is also the crazy prices for all (and not always for quality), you have to pay for everything ! Some places like the aquarium are cool, or to take a ferry tour. Goa also crossed the Harbour Bridge (not climbing because it was around 150 euros!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;So not let's go to discover the real Aussie's culture in the Center (Goa didn't see any Aborigene native in the city...despite the recent governments try to improve their integration).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5762332857292641333-7208920787343564032?l=goa-asia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/feeds/7208920787343564032/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5762332857292641333&amp;postID=7208920787343564032' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7208920787343564032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5762332857292641333/posts/default/7208920787343564032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goa-asia.blogspot.com/2008/09/sydney-and-bondi-beach.html' title='Sydney and Bondi Beach'/><author><name>amartbis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03204554224851037329</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SOHil0bOMJI/AAAAAAAAIMg/5jTdmFSx4IE/s72-c/Sydney+Bondi+27+28+sept+2008+015.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762332857292641333.post-1601289293966217086</id><published>2008-09-26T00:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-26T18:02:02.330-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Australia'/><title type='text'>Nouvelle Etape/step 2 Australie: Sydney</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SNy22QVfAtI/AAAAAAAAIHY/BE3XQKLc-4A/s1600-h/Syndey+26+sept+2008+035.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250272308821426898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SNy22QVfAtI/AAAAAAAAIHY/BE3XQKLc-4A/s200/Syndey+26+sept+2008+035.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SNy1K0kYPhI/AAAAAAAAIHQ/f2sEaVxCwhk/s1600-h/Syndey+26+sept+2008+015.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250270463121702418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jCa_PMmn_-E/SNy1K0kYPhI/AAAAAAAAIHQ/f2sEaVxCwhk/s200/Syndey+26+sept+2008+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Coucou&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;apres bcp de train et 12h d attente a l aeroport de Bombay et 12h de vol, Goa est arrive en Australie a Syndey.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Il a ete accueilli par une amie, Julie, a Cogee Beach (proche banlieue en bord de mer), une ballade sur la plage jusqu a Bondi lui a furieusement rappele la cote de Biarritz en France, a part que les Australiens sont adeptes du culte du corps et sont tous tres baraques (et les filles mignonnes). Il a cet aprem visite Syndey, ville tres agreable et propore (le contraste est choquant apres l Inde et la readaptation a pris 1/2 jours), il a vu le Harbopur Bridge, L opera House et a bcp apprecie les Botanic Gardens, bientot d autres news, ici il fait beau (moins chaud qu en Inde) et le barbecue attend Goa.

He sleeps at a friend s place, Julie. He wlaked from Cogee to Bondi beach that strangely looks like Biarritz in South West France. Except that the Australians are bodybuilded (and girls cute). Today he saw Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Botanic gardens, really zen spaces and a big contrast with India.

Les courts séjours lors de cette expérience (Mexique, Italie, République Tchèque, Maroc,...) ne lui ont donné qu'une envie, repartir... En effet Goa s'embêtait terriblement derrière son écran d'ordinateur lors de son job pour une grande société Internet, il a donc décidé de stopper la clim pour prendre le grand air quelques mois, car les voyages apprennent parfois bien plus que les manuels de formation...&lt;br /&gt;Bonne route avec Goa. Voici son Parcours: Inde, Australie, Nouvelle Zélande et Asie du Sud est!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Goa Part le 8 septembre 2008 pour Bombay! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Goa tentera de mettre son blog à jour et de l'améliorer dans la mesure du possible (en effet, sous l'eau et dans la jungle Internet se fait rare! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Goa&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hi, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Goa is a 27 years old Lobster from Bordeaux in France who decided to realize his dream; travelling accross Asia.
